My apologies, I thought it was at a show.
That being the case, your right, I'm wrong. Fuck him & the horse he rode in on.
If they have a problem with yours, the yellow piece of shit I used to own would really upset 'em.
The baja is like a yoyo. Be big for a while, die out, come back, die out again.
They were everywhere in the mid 70s, again in the mid 80s, then again 93 to about 96. I haven't seen one in Newcastle since Steve (bronze) went to Dubbo.
I got a kit under the house. When the circle comes round again, I'll be ready.
Then , of course, my country buggy is considered the epitome of ugly Volkswagens.
Criticism & bitchiness is human nature. You got no more chance of getting it off this forum than you do any other part of your life.
I can only speak for myself.
I am one of the air cooled brigade.
It's not that I like or dislike the water cooled cars, it's lack of interest. This goes for everything from the first Golf to the latest car off the production line. Although I don't mind the look of the early Passats.
My favourites are the split & bay kombis, the baja & the country buggys.
I don't mind the beach buggys but I wouldn't own one. I'll drool over a cabrio, but walk past a hot axe conversion. I can take or leave Karman ghias or Type 3s.
But having said that, I'll pull up & offer assistance to any VW on the side of the road. I have found myself under another mans kombi at 11pm on the F3. I have changed the tyre on an old womans Type 3.
My preferences don't come into it when I'm helping someone out.
I have given away more parts than I care to remember.
I have given the adress of this forum to everyone I have spoken to with so much a an interest in VWs.
In the end, that's what it's all about. Survival of the breed.
Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.
Here here.. I just think there is plenty of other breeds out there, with an us versus them mentallity, so we don't really need it within our own circles.
I am with Kol. You like something on a car? Tell them. Don't like it? Why do they have to know? Have some consideration and human decentcy for other peoples feelings. All comes back to common sense, like I said on about page 1 of this thing..
That doesn't mean we should all think the same about topics, feel the same about cars and/ or models of cars.. gawd we should be grateful we have Volkswagens in common, after all, thats why we are here, or did somewhere along the line we forget that?
Imagine if Ice Cream only came in one flavour.. say.. Vanilla. You'd have people liking it or disliking it and having no option. Now think of what we have today.. Okay.. I hate rum and raisin.. Why would I say it though? Why wouldn't I just say "No, I much prefer bubblegum, or licorice, or iced coffee". Instead of 'Nah that rum and raisin is bullshit.. tastes like absolute crap, and everyone that eats it should be shot".
Be thankful we have a choice. Embrace all of the options, not disgrace them.

Hmm,
As with most things the common sense approach is the best way to deal with the forum. I have given people advice before about posts and emails. If a comment can be construed as negative or positive always assume that the originator of the post or email meant the comment to be positive. As has been said earlier in these discussions you can't see the other person's face. If people wish to be condescending or nasty then that is their problem. Swearing is a different matter. As has been also pointed out already this is a PUBLIC channel and restraint is needed.
I will shut up and go away now to do a bit of swearing 🙂
Bugger Me Dead.
Well - That only took an hour to read. Phew!
Baja's:
Don't matter what they look like.
What matters his how far into the bush you can get?
Comment: "Hey, Your Baja looks $hit",
Answer: "Get in and I'll show you why" - make sure you line the seat with plastic before hand.
Forum - Like Jim and Spook: Round and round the topic goes.
Don't take anything at face value here or anywhere on the net. If that was the case Jim wants to have me shot.😠 Re- 'Rum and Raisin'😉
