with out this sound like it comes across wrong... *treads carefully and with an honest, sincere smile* judy and danielle, would seem like you are both working on the inside track to hunt down those old and much cherished vw's...😀 😀.
i used to be in retail. was showroom/sales manager for upmarket appliance store in dydney. am now just trying to enjoy the quiet life in the country. but with the vw habbit and the ongoing desire to accumulate, the lady is making do a little part time stuff to cover regos and aquisitions...😀

I spend every day on a golf course!
Not playing though stupid game that. Usually a very relaxed job Im a Turf grass manager! Truth is the last 18 months have been relentless as a full course reconstruction has been undertaken at the cost of around $8 Million , we finish in a few weeks and I hope get back to normal. More time for the kids surfing and VWs .
