From Music City USA,
Nashville, Tennessee

I am a Certified Volkswagen NUT!! I have 4.5 VW's at the present time. A 1965 Beetle undergoing custom/resto, a 1972 Fastback daily driver, a 1971 Squareback sitting around waiting for me to do something with it, and the rear half of a 1975 Super Beetle, which will be my next trike project. Cars are fun, but I need some other distractions, so we now present: Tim's Trike Page



 
 


           This page, along with my trike will be under construction for a while. 
     Meanwhile, here are some pictures of my trike in progress.
