sadly I don't think it will fit. assuming it's a 1:1 scale replica it would be just over 14 ft long, but as you are fitting a rectangle into a circle the corners of the bus won't fit  unless you get the shorty version...
still waiting to see which nails fish is wearing now

Personally, our pool is much deeper then the one pictured so I don't see the point.
finster, my nails have little open end wrenches on them. 6mm thru 10mm, pinky thru thumb.

I haven't bought any of this stuff, but someone might be interested:

Interesting to see them advertise the VW Bus as a "T1" rather than a "T2" hmmmm....

The T1....T6 designates the generations of Transporters as well as the different types of VWs.
We stopped here in the States with the T4, sadly.

I bought that Euro plate in Scotland in 1988, I was rummaging thru a Junkyard outside Dunoon and came across the plate, I told the guy I wanted to bring it home to New Hampshire, he said "Hampshire ! You can't use that there", I told him it was NEW Hampshire, in the U.S., he said ok, $5.....
And yes, I put the little dashes on it..........

Not weird, but this tee shirt I got. I've never seen a Ghia with dual trun signals. Was this ever a real thing? Or did someone not know any better and just photoshop some on?

I found the picture used in the making of this Tee Shirt.

Picked up this Beetle model made out of wood for no particular reason. Now it sits permanently on my dash.

I ended up buying one of these for a laugh the next time i was in Spain. Emptied it and filled it with some used oil, for the true fragrance of a VW. It lives on a shelf in the garage...

Strangely; the classic fragrance wasn't petrol and hot oil, but cheap shower gel. Who'd have thought?

To be authentic, it needs the smells from (list is from an old post of mine I'm proud of):
Seat padding.
Oh, and if it's an oldie, you also have to blend in:
- exhaust fumes from leaky heat exchangers
- oil smell from leaky oil cooler
- raw gas fumes from leaky gas gauge sender
- brake fluid from leaky rear line under floormat
- hydrogen from battery acid spill under back seat
- burnt plastic from shorted wires fixed with band-aid
- salty air from day at beach
- stale beer from can stashed under passenger foot rest when pulled over for broken tail lights
- faint smell of old weed (location forgotten)
And if it's an old Bus, it could be biological, but let's not go there.
