Been carrying @sbw around since '75.

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

Last week @sbw got me a new square bowl carburetor. After 51 years, my original round bowl carburetor wouldn't stop leaking gas at the inlet pipe. I'm always sad when I have to let go of one of my original parts!

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

@sbwabbit, been nice knowin' ya! Just me, @sbw550K, and @31L left in the hangar. Seems like @sbw is making some changes 'round here!

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

I don't get out much, but it felt good this week to carry @sbw back and forth to the auto parts store while @sbwsty was all in pieces.

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

I enjoyed carrying @sbw around the Bay Area over the past week. Down to Santa Cruz, up to Saint Helena, lots of places between.

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

I carried @sbw to Napa County this weekend. Today, we'll be cruising down to Santa Cruz. Oh, and I got a bath.

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

Yesterday, the rain held off, so I carried @sbw on a long drive around the Oakland and Alameda shoreline while @sbwsty's oil was draining.

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

Wow! Bugformance in Sunnyvale is closing after 42 years of servicing classic VWs. I visited their shop 9 years ago. www.sbw.org/vw#20010105

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

Whoa, the lights went out for a bit. Oh! @sbw took my battery & jumped it to @sbwsty's to get charged overnight. I started right up today!

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

That dummy @sbw left my door open ajar last week, so my battery ran down! @sbwabbit jumped me, and we drove around a bit to charge it up.

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

Today I moved from Redwood City into the hangar with @31L and @sbwabbit. I visited @31L lots of times in Hayward, but now we're roomies!

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

Had a nice visit to Napa, then carried @sbw all around the Bay Area yesterday. Now back in the garage. Zzzz...

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

@fuelly says I traveled 194 miles since Apr. 29, 2.13 miles/day. I ate 7.356 gallons of gas, or 26.4 mpg.

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

Oh, hey! @sbw's here, and I'll be carrying him around for the next week or so. First stop: Redwood City DMV to get @sbwsty's license tags.

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

@sbw550K, welcome to Redwood City! Is this a great place to chill? Yep, that's a Ferrari, and over there's a Messerschmitt three-wheeler.

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

Ahh, I'm snug and happy, back in the garage in Redwood City. @sbw550K's joining me here before long. All us old vehicles just hangin' out.

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

@fuelly says I traveled 224 miles since Mar. 24, ~6 miles/day. I ate 8.684 gallons of gas, or 25.8 mpg.

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

I carried @sbw and his friend Bob Steward all around the peninsula last Sunday. Bob used aircraft fuel sealant to fix my leaky carb. Yay!

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

@sbwabbit has been gone for a couple of days, and since then @sbw has driven me to visit a few other VWs. Something's up!

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

Hey, does @mathowie have a cool @fuelly plug-in to post to Twitter automatically? Want! Maybe @sbw will build one for me, if I ask nicely.

[sbwvw @sbwvw]

Carried @sbw & his mom to see five more Calif. missions today. Back home after 933 miles in 5 days. 28.6 mpg overall! www.urlzr.com/00/2472
