Hey, what really f**ks you guys off?
I get to work tonight after spending 3-4 hours hand polishing my car for the day of the VW. I am not at work for 10 minutes and my f**k head of a manager and some other work mates have stuck a 4 sale sign with 500 bucks ONO on it. They thought it was a fantastic joke and were all laughin. Meaning while i have half a dozen drunk early 20 year olds out crawling all over it taking down my mobile number. Next minute there is a women laying on my bumper and boot lid putting her full weight on it. AGHH! Talk about see red. Talk about no f**ken respect. MY argument is they can do what they want to me, just leave my car and my family out of it. :cussing
ANything like this happened to anyone else?
Man I feel your pain...get shit like that all the time. Have a volkswagen racing shirt and wear it to work on Fridays when everyone else wears the ford racing and HRT shirts. Funny how they then band together to hang shit on my shirt. Water of a ducks back.
After 24 000 000 beetles sold, not to mention more Golfs, we're still classed as a minority.
It's just the way it is if you own a vw and in particular a beetle.
But have you ever heard of 'day of the torana' or 'Pajero action day'
are they from penrith?
as long as no damage has been done to the car dont let them get to you.
someone on avd has or had on there avatar, they laugh because your different ,you laugh because there all the same.
they win if you get the shits.
or you could slash there tyres that would be funny
what about the torana feast,,,,lol....
its just i have a torana and a pajero....
as well as my beetles...
cheers

dont you guys know all vws are for hippies and do 40 second quater times.
and because i love and drive kombis i am a pot smoking dealer. everytime i would stop somewhere in my bus in a around aus trip i got asked if they could by some of my pot and i have never even smoked tobacco
Mate, unfortunately it's always been the same but be happy with the knowledge that when all their cars are long forgotten there'll still be vws on the road somewhere.

I think you need to use the steath revenge technique on your dickhead workmates. Only strike them one at a time with a suitable break between hits. the classic are always good laughs. prawns in hub caps,super glue door locks or windscreen wiper blades, tyre valves. spray dog piss through their windows or lock a male cat in the car. once a couple have been done you can deflect them blame on to the other clowns and have double the fun as they try to catch each other in the act. enjoy:thumb
Problem: I got probed by Aliens last night...............and I think I like it!.........E.T call ME.
i have the same at work and i just tell them at least i own my car out right and then ask how old their cars are and say come back and see me when its 32 years old and still on the road. last week i told one of the guys who has a mazda rx7 that it needs a tune cause i kept up in a stock bug.

mmmm,
1. right lane sitters,
2. people doing 70 in a 60 zone and then 70 in a 80 zone,
:cussing
3. people who think modified means a set of bolt on bits (no offence accessory dudes).
4. People who put a sticker on their VW that says "I wish I was a v8".
I don't mind a decent V8, but really. :vader
but most of all, The thing that really give me the hebbies is...
5. People who think their way of doing things is the only 'right way' of doing things. Unfortunately this applies to some VW lovers as well. 🙁

Very good Pete....
although at Show & Shines,
a Modified Beetle IS a Beetle with added on bits... I'll never be able to enter My Beetle as a standard Beetle but its NOT good enough to win as a Modified Beetle.. as I've just done My thing... slight mods here & there... No twin Webers etc.. Not even extractors...
only very slightly lowered... with standard wheels... and a few gauges...
but too different to be called "standard"..... but I look at it as being standard..... I call Porsche brakes or 1835 engine etc as modified....
41 degrees at the moment in Scone 1pm.....

hey lee, you know the funny thing. In 30 years time, if all those bits are the same age as the car, it will be considered standard, least that seems to be the case with most resto custom stuff. You could have the weirdest 60's roofrack in the world and various other period accessories no one ever saw on a dub at the time, but now it's 20 years in the future, it's just an accessorised 'standard' vehicle.
What I meant was a silly body kit or some eye brows. Now I love eyebrows, but that is not a modified car.
Your car sounds like a nice cruiser. Subtle little things that you have done yourself to make the car yours and just that bit better. That is what hot-rodding about is about. Doing what you can be it simple or complex to improve the car. Mostly the simple things are the best. Keep up the good work. If you like your car how it is, no one else has to judge it.
As for car shows...
I'd need a whole new bunch of catagories to describe what gets up my nose there, but most of it fits catagory no.5.
i hate it when people park next to you in a car park and open their bloody door strait into the side of your car:cussing:cussing:cussing:cussing:cussing
my peeve for the week is guys in v8 bombadores who race you at lights going uphill.
woopy-doo, you just beat a beetle going uphill... :duh:duh:duh
in the beginning, the universe was created.
this made alot of people very angry and is widely regarded as a bad move.

You do know what they say about guys who drive v8's ???? making up for a "lacking" in another department !!!!! hehehehehehehe
🤘
OK, where do I start?
As already mentioned above - not indicating at roundabouts is fairly close to the top of the list, along with people who sit in the right lane on a four lane, 110km/h highway, doing less than 80km/h when all the other lanes are moving faster than they are.
Also, parts suppliers/repairers who take months to rebuild/supply a part when they told me that it would only take a couple of days/week to do.
...and finally, people who ring up to order a delivery pizza, who don't know either their address, phone number, what they want to order, or even their name (or all of the above! :duh )....and you think I'm joking :bounce

What shits me is people who think watercooled VW's aren't "real" VWs. If it's got the badge, it's a VW. I don't see this type of crap with any other marque, including the Citroen forum I hang out on - they had aircooled cars as well (2CV, GS, etc)
I don't like ill-informed people who mistake metal construction for safety. Controlled deformation of surfaces to make crashes survivable = safety. This is why eggs come in cardboard or foam, not hard steel packaging. This particular nugget of stupidity is most evident with people who think ladder / chassis vehicles (such as large 4wd's) are safe. Nothing could be further from the truth. Passive and active safety often requires your car to sacrifice itself to allow you to walk away with a shaken ego and little else. It's why we have insurance.
Lastly, I'll put in my two cents for the right hand lane huggers, tail gaters, people who deliberately want to be "in front", frequent lane changers in peak hour traffic, people who don't know how to merge at speed, slow / unsafe drivers, and lastly environmentalists who drive old untuned cars with the emissions output of 30 modern cars or more. If they really cared about the environment, they'd walk or ride a bike, and hire cabs for those times they really do need a car. Of course, we as responsible VW owners keep our cars tuned, right? 😉

I can associate with people pushing ya. The trip down to Day of the VW for me was taken from bendigo, heathcote, Seymour, through to Yea, and onto Yara Glen which is an awesome drive as its all through the hills so passing opertunities are limited... F**ken arse in his 4x4 tried to pass on over taking lanes up hill. I could see him coming and could also see the Left lane ends, merge right sign. I go to merge so instead of being nice,:party the prick floors it and pretty much holds me in the damn bike lane almost in the dirt all because his Landcruiser dont have the balls to do things in the provided space... Did a naughty and hit the horn, and pulled back in behind very pissed. Down hill now and hes doing 90, 100, 90, 95, 105, 95, 90, 85, 90.... AGHH! First opertunity. dropped to third, got the run up, hit 4th and punched it. 95mph and i passed him and another 2 cars. WOOHOOO! Go the beetle. No police men around thank god. I had to laugh thou. As i go to turn off the main road onto the race track the 4x4 comes screamin up behind and holds the horn on as he passes me.... He got the last laugh this time.... Wait till next time.
For me it is
1 - People giving me shit for being in the army, and giving me shit for taking thier girls, well i am sorry for the military supporting your shit hole little piss ant of a town, who without us the town would stop to exist and your parents would be out of a job...........and we do not choose to go to war, join up and find out that we protect democracy and freedom of speech, unfortunatley it is not practiced, if we are told to go.....we bloddy go. Oh and i married a girl from my home town, and didn't take one of the skanky 13yr old whores...
2 - Wankers reversing into my bug and saying they didn't see it.
some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch
when you push them down the stairs
