Throwback Thursday - a friend posted this picture of my old 1966 Karmann Ghia taken at an old VW Event at Santa Pod back in the 90s - good times and a great car that one - quite fancy a Ghia again at some point. Had to use AI to remove a few shadows and reflections as it was a photo of an old print
