My longtime friend and driver, Tallman, has a new/old ride. A 1973 VW van. It is ready/legal for tourist services. We were honored to be the first visitors to get a ride. What a blast. More info to come soon.Attachment 56992Attachment 56993Attachment 56994Attachment 56995
Tallman can be found under the transportation tab on this site.
Nice :eagerness:
Russ , Subrina, and Tallman,
That is definitely on my bucket list for the next reach in July!
Nice photos!
Thanks,
Happy
Let me know how it is. I'll be there in August and haven't set up my transportation yet. That's a very cool van!Quote:

It is licensed and legal. Red plate has been ordered. He should have it this week. Soon Come
No worries...transportation drivers can't be on Negril.com unless they're legal (red plate) and have been vetted.Quote:

Rest assured, Tallman's Vintage Tours will be a legal, one-of-a-kind attraction all by itself!
And to let everyone know more about this amazing way to get around Jamaica, Leslie Parkinson (Tallman) and I have been discussing this "vintage tour" concept for a while now.
This is something that the "hippies" who discovered Negril could only have fantasized about. A mint condition, 1973 VW Mircobus with a custom interior including a full bar!
Imagine the parties you can plan! Want to celebrate a birthday - rent the Microbus for 5 hours and go wherever you want! And party like a rockstar the entire time!
It can be utilized the same way that party Limos and buses are used for special occasions, weddings, anniversaries, heck, even just another Thirsty Thursday!
Take a trip back in time to 1973, before many of you were born in comfort that was unthinkable in Jamaica at the time!
More info to come....
Also an amazing sound system!
I assumed the red plate was ordered and coming soon but I had to ask the question as it's very important to travel in a fully licensed red plate vehicle. A lot of travelers don't realize that their travel insurance covers them in the event of a motor vehicle accident but only if it's a fully licensed common carrier (like JUTA).Quote:
