 David and Tamara Posthuma, Holland, MI Hi VW Volks...my name is David Posthuma. I have had two long-time mid-life-crisis dreams: 1) Build a hovercraft...if you want to see my four person hovercraft fly on Gun Lake, go to www.youtube.com/watch?v=j92PiZVjgiU; 2) Build a 4-seat street-legal sandrail. I finished the hovercraft two years ago and flew it at the cottage through last Summer. It is recently sold, so now I begin dream #2, my sandrail. Unfortunately, I have had a medical accident that destroyed my back...three surgeries later I can function, but the days of playing wild in the sand at Silver Lake are now over. So my mid-life-crisis mobile will be more for street cruising and light sand cruising at Silver Lake. My goal is to get an engine running and looking good this Summer, and build onto the frame next Summer. I currently am working on a 1600DP. Contact me at 616-283-7703, or email: davep@echurchessentials.com |

Hey Dave and Tamara my husband and I have had a four seater street legal sandrail in the making for about four years. We got side tracked with VW bugs and car shows. Maybe when we get our 60 VW put back together you and my husband can motivate each other on the sandrails!

Welcome to the site. Also did the back surgery thing and it did change my "physical" life. It gets better (and sometimes worse) with time. The bad days get fewer though as time go on. A good healthy hobby is the way to move on  Always been into vw but during the recoup time I got real heavy into rc planes. Hope the rail project goes well let us know if you need help. |

I am always up for joining forces with motivational partners and mentors! I would also love to see what you have accomplished so far! |
