I was reading the garage sale section of yesterdays paper, looking for camping gear, when the letters VW leapt out at me.
You know the deal; dis, dat, the other ting, household items, VW parts.
Trotted down there at the advertised time & the VW parts were extractors for a 2 litre kombi & a beetle manual.
Wasted trip........not quite.
I ask the guy if that was it. NO
Tucked in a corner of the back yard is a complete (67??)beetle. Sad but salvagable.
I pick it up next Saturday.
Remembering that I was going looking for camping gear, & bought a Volkswagen, as you can imagine I'm as popular as shit in a hat with the lady Melanie. When she sees it, I may find myself sleeping in the tent I was meant to be getting accesories for.
#1 son is over the moon, this will be his when it's done.
I'm losing my touch though. Here's a beetle 4 blocks from home & I didn't know it was there.
If Jim reads this: Do you remember when I bought a beetle roof rack at a flea market & you said -but I don't own a beetle? I told you it made perfect sense to me to have a roof rack then find a car to put under it.
There you go...........😎
Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.
Good on ya spook
the missus will get ovet it.........eventually
In a couple of months
But you will have the beetle for years
and i thought that i couldnt help myself when it came to garage sales :P
in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.
YOU ARE THE MAN!!

Makes perfect sense to me spook! Spent all day Friday looking at Bugs for sale 😉

Hey - increase the pain please. What'd you get it for Mate?
$200
Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.
you can not pass that price :Pgood score
Yeah well, I spend that much a month on tobacco.
We'll see if it's money well spent when it comes out of the corner & I can have a real good look.
But even if it's ratshit I can part it out for that much.
Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.

Tell the wife it was free when you bought a sleeping bag and used matches.lol
Tell the wife it's an investment for #1 son, All drivers should be made to drive a VW by law at least for 1 month.

Contrary to popular opinion, train drivers don't make that much that $200 would not be missed.
As for my missus coming round. NOT FUCKEN LIKELY!!!
She hates Vdubs with a passion & that won't change.
Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.
Well, tis home. All I can say is thank christ a mate of mine is a boilermaker.
It runs. That's the good news.
I'll get some pics up tomorrow

Are you thinking Beetle coffin.
She might have got rid of him and might be pretend hes still alive by posting on here.
O.K. Mrs Spook, we are on to you, he might have gone too far this time but please let him play with us.
Cheers
