It's rare in February to have sunlight in the morning even with freezing temps. It is crisply beautiful outside...the blues are so blue, and the Madrona trees are red against the grays and browns. And fresh little tops of Narcissus and Crocus are poking through the soil. I am grateful for the beauty here. My art table is ready for today's project with paints ready.
Fourteen minutes after leaving Heathrow and BA428 to Amsterdam is already over Essex, down below can be seen Clacton-On-Sea and the railway stations of Great Bentley and Weeley.
While in the city I spent one night out in Brooklyn @ Ben's place, while he's away in Paris again. Wanted to see what it was like to be in Brooklyn, after having lived on Manhattan Island for years. Interesting just by crossing a river from one part of the city to the other, can feel so different. Only a few miles apart and yet it feels like decades away. How can just one small river make such a big difference?
This shot was made from Air New Zealand Bombardier Q300 while flying from Auckland to Palmerston North, New Zealand. Not sure about our cruising altitude since the data was not available in flight. Guess we were somewhere between 20,000 and 25,000 ft. Nice cloud formation can be spotted down below the wing.

Dawn, and I'm waiting for my ride to the airport. My temporary work space has been cleaned and put back in order. The birds are quiet, the kids are tucked in bed, and the girls fast asleep. Going home.

A black vinyl (un-padded) top which can be removed. Foldable front windscreen. Front defroster vents in the dashboard and warm air outlets in the foot well.

In August 1970 the engine was upgraded to the Twin Port 1600cc engine from the 1302S Beetle. The extra 6bhp produced by this engine increased the top speed to 115kph (71 mph). Other improvements to the VW 181 in 1970 included a new padded dashboard and new improved windscreen mounting.

From chassis number 183 2346 525 the rear suspension and braking system was changed from the original version fitted from the Split-screen Bus (with reduction boxes) to the all-new Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) from the 1302 Beetle. This new suspension included a double-jointed rear axle with semi-trailing links. The rear brakes were off of the 1302 Beetle although a unique wide 5 brake drum was used (the Beetle brake drum was 4×130 PCD).
In August 1973 more parts from the VW Beetle were transferred to the VW 181. This included the new 4 spoke steering wheel with padded horn push. Indicator switch and column mounted wiper switch with integrated washer switch.

In March 1974 a new ‘Acapulco’ beach version was released into production (although not available in Germany). This unique model included a new blue and white gloss paint with matching seat upholstery. The running boards for the first time were covered in rubber and the safety chains were removed from the doors. Only 400 were produced making them the rarest of all Type 181’s built.
The Type 182 was officially sold in Britain by VW dealers under the name ‘Trekker’. The new Right Hand Drive Trekker included European rear tail lights and flashing front indicators.
