The "reputable" shop estimate for Buster the Bus just keeps getting crazier. Today, we’re talking about the brakes on my 1973 VW Westfalia. The quote for a brake booster alone was a staggering $3,800. Instead of writing that check, I rolled up my sleeves (and did a lot of part-hunting). I managed to do the entire brake system—not just the booster—for only $267. I’m 60 years old, I’m learning as I go, and I’m proving that owning a vintage VW doesn't have to break the bank if you’re willing to do the research yourself. In this video, I’m breaking down the cost difference and why it’s so important to get a second opinion (or just do it yourself!). What’s in this video: The breakdown of the $3,800 brake estimate. How I sourced parts for the entire system for under $300. Encouragement for fellow Westy owners to take control of their repairs. #VWBus #1973Westfalia #BrakeBooster #BudgetRestoration #BusterTheBus #WomenWhoRepair #VWType2 #AircooledVW #DIYBrakes

PADDY WAGON is the finest example of Hinckley’s most popular model from the Talaria line of motor yachts; maintained with an open check book, she is as nice as the day she left the factory and a must see for anyone looking to make a Hinckley Talaria their next boat. With her traditional downeast inspired profile, PADDY WAGON is as classic as she is beautiful, the shear line is long and flowing, the hull curves are just right with a tumblehome that is sensuous and eye-catching. The Talaria 43 Flybridge pilothouse features an innovative powered aft glass enclosure that disappears at the touch of a button and the oversized powered side windows slide aft to create an open and airy feeling. In many ways, with the aft windows down and the side windows open, it feels like you are sitting on a beautiful porch as you motor along. A galley-up layout results in great light and visibility and connection to the living area. Below is a large master cabin with a centerline queen berth and a second guest cabin that share a well-appointed head with separate stall shower. The addition of the flybridge to this extremely popular model not only added a second full function helm, it also added an exceptional entertaining space up high with custom refrigerator, varnished teak table and settee that easily seats six.
