How We Came to Own the Red Fox


We met at a birthday party. It was a birthday party for the Blue Fox. Well, not so much a birthday party as a celebration of the anniversary of buying the Blue Wagon. September 2004.

The Red one was impossibly clean.

The owner and I kept in touch. We swapped stories and tips. And Parts.
I learned that the car had come up from California.
That explained its good bones. That and the effort that had gone into keeping it so tidy.

In 2006, I went down to Waterwagens in Red. And it won a prize.

When, in January 2010, the owner announced that he had had enough and wanted out of the old VW game, I knew I had to get the car. There was no way I could let it go only to hear it was wrapped around a tree or written off after hitting a pole or landing in a ditch. It had to be saved from such a fate.
