I ran into this a long time ago before I was a PBase member and loved it. I still do now and am glad I ran into it again. The memory of it alone has inspired my car photography a lot. Gigantic Double (if only it were possible) Vote!

These are SO great, Wendy. Geesh! There isn't a color that I don't just love. You are one of my favorite artists. ;) Willa

The background for each car adds wonderful variety.

Creative gallery. Nice work.
Guest 18-Sep-2006 19:45
Great idea. I want a poster with all of them! I like the alignment (one row to the right, one to the left...excellent!)
Emmanuel Panagiotakis23-Aug-2006 21:33
I like it...... Very nice and colorfully gallery ,very good idea
Scotty Graham20-Aug-2006 06:35
I just bought a '66 bug here in Indonesia, and have always loved this car. I love this gallery, and agree with Jarrell below that this gallery would make a great poster!! Well done.
Guest 17-Aug-2006 08:04
FANTASTICO....

me encantan los "cucarachas"...que maravilla de galeria, podrias "cazar" mas...

un saludo de Barcelona, Volker

Terrific -- I have an absurd love for this car. Have a New Bettle, but it's not quite the same (not entirely a bad thing mechanically speaking). But I'll take your gallery over "The Doors of (Fill in the Blank)" any day!

great collection. I'll send you one from Cozumel for completeness's sake...

I just love this gallery. A great tribute to a great and very cute car :) Well done!
Cat 03-Jan-2006 12:52
i have always wanted to drive a beetle - my dream car, if you like so
my beetle - Godfrey - is my delight!
this gallery blew me away and accidental or intentional, i think the doors are a great touch! :)

VWonderful, uj
Guest 17-Oct-2005 07:41
Lovely and well done gallery. Only recently I started to keep an eye out for old cars, VW bugs included, but it is not as easy as I thought it would be. There are a lot of Bugs in Los Angeles, but just not in a position where I can take a nice shot and without the hostile owner come up to greet me with baseball bat. It is a slow process, but I managed to collect a whole bunch of old cars. Here is mine-http://www.pbase.com/orbitalbox/pimped.
Damon Lynch06-Oct-2005 17:33
Hi Wendy, here is a Bug from Jerusalem, which has to be seen to be believed ;-)

Your first shot made me laugh out loud. Wonderful!

A lovely, simple idea brilliantly executed. Fabulous gallery.
jarrell25-Aug-2005 19:21
Well I'll be darned, what a nice idea. This would be pretty cool printed on a single large poster sized print.

Pepe Zyman20-Aug-2005 01:08
While living in Mexico, I used to own one! Thank you for the memories.
Kevin 16-Aug-2005 22:32
Great Shots! It brings back memories of my childhood. We were a bug family. At one time we had seven of them ranging from 1957 to 1970.
Donald Verger25-Jul-2005 08:16
a wonderful gallery! so much fun Wendy, and such stunning colors and lines and patterns and geometry and history and culture! a tour on a bug thru Mexico! voted!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)
David 23-Jul-2005 05:35
Brilliant!
Philippe 21-Jul-2005 07:04
It recalls memories of the days lived in Mexico in 1999 and 2000.
I spent one and half year there and my best friend owned one such a bug.
Thank you for this very nice gallery and for taking my memory back.
I lacks though the green and grey bug taxi with the front seat removed to allow passengers to seat at the back.

Guest 22-Jun-2005 03:05

Guest 10-Jun-2005 22:18
I love it! I did a similar thing with busses of Puerta Vallarta, i'll have to load them up sometime. Great gallery!
Bob Reynolds01-Jun-2005 02:37
I love the older bugs. This gallery brings back some memories of a 65 bug I drove in high school. It didn't start half of the time and it wasn't flashy, but it was cheap and it got me where I wanted to go (once I got a push from a couple of good friends). Thanks for the memories and great photos.
Guest 30-May-2005 14:02

Nice collection, with some pretty specimens. Wonderful idea, very well carried out.
Jal18-Jan-2005 15:07
Fantastic Gallery Wendy!
Only you are capable of something so unique a theme
and follow up with it beautifully. I knew you had a tging for bugs when I saw this a few years ago.

Great gallery Wendy. I am looking forward to meeting you at the next Photomeetup. I have been an avid admirer of your images.

Nick Clarke15-Jan-2005 01:02
Great project, bought a smile to my face. From a far it looks like a bit of pop art, and at the same time it's a great bit of documentry / art photography.
Guest 12-Jan-2005 14:24
Awesome gallery!

Wendy, I have been enjoying your pictures since your UZ days. I am a friend of Doug, one of your old UZ group buddies. My first Car was a '60 Bug, and I handed it down to my brother when I left home. I forwarded your gallery to him, my parents, and my uncle for their enjoyment. Thanks.
Guest 10-Jan-2005 02:04
Great subject! I love it!
Franz Bauer05-Jan-2005 00:42
Hi Wendy,I think these must be all bugs of Mexico...!?! ;))) What a nice and colourful idea! A lot of years ago I had also such an old one for about four years..;)) nice rememberings.
Franz
Charley Roessler 04-Jan-2005 17:09
Hi Wendy: You're bugging me! Great gallery, my favorite subject!
Georgia Roessler04-Jan-2005 00:07
Love this! What a super subject for a gallery, Wendy!
Very clever how you shot all of them from more or less the same perspective, so that it is just the background that seems to change. Would you like the story of MY life through my VW, or should I just send you a picture??
Dan Chusid03-Jan-2005 06:29
So well organized Wendy! I owned two of these in my automobile past including a black '67 and a dark blue '73. Always have a soft spot for the vee dub See you at an upcoming meeting hopefully! - Dan
Jeff M 03-Jan-2005 01:42
I LOVE this gallery- Very Clever! brings back so many memories. I especially enjoy the one bug named "Jeans" (but what's with all those doors in the background???)
