Ptewwiiiee,,Povvo but one day I hope to make some money (put enough into it so far.lol)............. Currently suplementing creative urges by finishing off a diploma in ceramics............

Why and how did I get into dubs??? caus I bought my first baja back at uni,,, paid it off, stupid woman driving ford, wrote it of,, uninsured,, boyfriend at time told me I couldnt fix it,, I told him i could,,, and did...

I work at an Aboitoir. (meat works) doing various jobs. Sticking would have to be the best the warm sensation of the blood running down your arm is great. Before that drove interstate mainly brisbane to Adelaide and Melbourne for myself. Happily married with 2 boys and another on the way not sure of the sex yet. I cant remember how I got into vw's but have a 62 and a half, 70 Baja (project) and a 71 deluxe bus another project. My wife told me to make some room and get rid of some stuff so I built a bigger garage and put a double car port in now have room for 2 more cars. What will it be !!!!!
