John and Friends

These guys are from Washington state.

These are some older pics of their cars

Here's John ('67 baja), Todd ('73 baja), and Bobski (a.k.a. mudflap '64 baja) terrorizing a South Seattle neighborhood in snowy weather.... who says you have to go offroad to have fun in a baja.






This is Kurt wetting down the river bank before attempting to climb the 5' nearly straight up bank that the 4x4s couldn't make. He wanted to keep the dust down so he didn't have to clean his air filter.






Kurt disproves the addage that Super Beetles don't make good bajas, although he did a lot of front end work to make it hold up. Also the 140 hp Corvair motor is a nice feature.

Looks like he made over the bank.
4 wheelers eat your heart out!







Passengers view near the Nachez trail..... what could be better?
More snow!!!!!!



THEY FOUND IT!




Kurt had a little trouble in that last corner. Too much driver juice maybe?







Kurt: You guys just get out of my way... I don't need a pull.







Well ok... maybe just a little pull.

Herman (kurts dad) comes to the rescue. He's also running a corvair engine, in a standard baja. John's not sure of the year.







This is John climbing a snow covered hill and his buddy Dave is in the back with his '56. Notice the oval window.








Here's Todd pulling Mud Flap out of a ditch.




These pics are of Todd's car blasting through a mud hole in what John calls his low rider days.
Read on to see why.
