This is Trevor. He's been everywhere in the bus all the time I've owned it, now around 28 years. Trevor started life being yellow and green but has now faded into a natural tortoiseshell.
Remembered to take a pic… not quite on the dash - there’s a Saltrock guy and a glow in the dark green frog. I was given the frog by an ex when I had my beetle when I was 17/18. He sat in front the speedo and the indicator light would make his head flash green. His done quite well to stick around for over 25 years!! He still glows in the dark too..: when I turn the lights off in the garage he’s there glowing away!
I don’t have any dash ornaments because at the moment I don’t have a dash and technically I don’t actually have a finished bus…. But this guy has been present throughout the restoration of my bus and, standing on the shelf in my garage has witnessed all the ups and downs, blood sweat and tears of the last 15 years of graft…. He will take pride of place on my dash when my bus is finished.
Not mine ( I wish! ) but some of you may know Race Taxi. Fred, the owner, is a friend of a friend of mine and he comes out to Australia regularly. VB beer had a promotion a few years ago where they had bobble heads of Booney and Warney. Anyway, we gave Fred a Warney bobble head and you can see it on the dash here of Race Taxi behind the steering wheel
I'm afraid mine was pretty cluttered including 3 hand Knitted Bays, a large peace sign, bunting and various car show plaques
They stare at each other across the divide and they are destined to always have different viewpoint of life passing them by
Chip...well Chip has a few ornaments, notwithstanding the monkeys and co that always travel with us... This guy, he came from our first bay Wolfe.. As did the Greek worry beads and dice. Memories of our first big Greek island hopping adventure and a great memory below of having lunch in Monument Valley.. And then this guy. A joke spider ring I found in the carpark at Cadillac Ranch just outside Amarillo The thermometer. Passenger side, lower corner. That was Scala on the Peloponnese And finally our momento of Roswell, New Mexico. The lucky Alien There's and old and I think genuine VW St Christopher we bought 25 odd years ago on the glove box. It's nice to be surrounded by memories xx..
