Mongolia Pictures!
These pictures are very special to me. This is the family that entertained us while we were stuck in the desert for 9 hours waiting for a truck.
The kids were an absolute joy. As I said in the post, the girl is very bright (and a stunning beauty)! She picked up on using the camera in the iphone very quickly. The boys were having fun doing some martial arts bit from a movie. Does anyone recognize the moves?
I love the pictures towards the end. The little boy is ridiculously cute. The grandparents have stunning dramatic faces. I'll be looking at these pictures for the rest of my life.

Iran pictures!
Unfortunately, I took very few pictures of the guys in Iran of the car club that helped us out.
That's Saeed in one of his dune buggies at his superkart track. The t-shirt was a gift from Robert and I to the club. In the group picture, Saeed is on the left in blue, Abbas is seated center in horizontal stripes, Mr. Ali is standing in the back, and Mohammad is on the right. And finally, Mr. Ali's 1956 beetle!
These guys really saved our butts. They get my enduring devotion.

Building Ladybird pictures
I've uploaded some pictures of Ladybird at various stages of production. We started in February 2010 and you can see that there wasn't much bolted to the car. It had wheels, doors, and not much else. I would drive down to my dad's on the weekends and bolt on parts that he had gathered during the week. Unfortunately, he also had to work on the car quite a bit because of the time crunch.
The car was mostly ready in time for Robert's first visit in July and the car shipped two weeks later.

Famous in Instanbul!
Robert just found that we have pictures up on the site for the Volkswagen Club of Instabul! I'm really excited about this!
I've uploaded my own photos of that day to Flickr. The guy in the blue V-neck in the last photo is Herr Volkswagen! If you remember from here, he did some excellent work for us getting the engine running well. I really can't thank him enough.
