Woodward ‘07: Rack ‘Em, Hippy! VW Bus Billiards Table
Pardon our dust; we’re busy moving cubicles about here at WINDING ROAD Towers to make room for what has to be the coolest pool table we’ve ever clapped eyes on.
This Ohio-plated Volkswagen Bus billiards table was trailed to Woodward where it simultaneously bemused and amused all who strolled by. We spoke with the owner, and he told us that although he doesn’t know who built it or when, he was able to snooker this T1 away from its previous owner for around $8000, and it now resides in his shop.
The maroon felt Type 2 is fully functional and it appeared to have been built to a high standard. It didn't look to have a full-fledged ball return mechanism, but it's certainly playable, and it even has an integrated storage area for balls and other supplies beneath its engine flap.
Pass the chalk, please.

It's good that they didn't put a ball return mechanism. Those things don't let you see which ball you just put into the pocket. And yeah, that pool table is awesome.

I am a journalist working for Internews, a UK news & feature agency. Can you please advise where we can get a hi-res image of the VW pool table? We will naturally acknowledge the source which could well attract UK motoring fans to read the Winding Road's excellent site..
