Also, check out the new classified section. This gives those interested in any of the items to be advertised in Issue#6 a bit of a head start.

Dave,

Somehow I think you might work out what model kombi it is if it were offered to you with a $600 purchase price like Keiran's 🙂

Looking forward to it Craig

Steve

No i would be buying a Delux Micro Bus which would be OK.....

Ive never seen that model here or on any of the UK sales brochures for that matter.

Why would you Fit out a Micro Bus into a Camper... must have had shares in the curtain factory :-)

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

I am jumping out of my skin waiting for issue #6... can't wait to see the development of the notch that is being restored.

Hey Craig, good to see that the website has changed. I don't know if you remember but I was the one who sent you an email long ago to see if you needed help to redesign it.

Dave, it is indeed a camper, converted by a company called Devon. Not much privacy though with all that glass. And standing up is via the ragtop, which doesn't afford all that much protection. Needless to say, it is a fully equipped top of the range camper.

And yes, I got my finger out and learnt a little more about web design. It's still basic and simple, but, hey, I resemble that remark.

Also, please note Issue#5 is not available as back order. If you do wish to have a copy, send me your postcode and I'll point you to the nearest stockist.

Cheers
Craig

Funny you should say that. A previous owner did exactly that, except he used fibreglass!

There is a double cab here that was a 23 window deluxe(samba for Dave).
You can still see the pressings inside the roof.
The old owner wanted a ute so he chopped his 23???????

Not to give too much away, but this is a very cool shot taken on the day of the shoot. The photographer for the article is Brian White, a member of the forum.

Craig,

is it too late to ask for us to be in the Club pages again? We seemed to have dropped off last issue.

thanks,
Andrew

Hey Drew,

Two copies at Logandale newsagency Redland Bay Road Logandale. One copy at Loganholme Newsagency Bryants Road Loganholme.

Sorry, which club did I miss? My apologies.

ps Drew, next club meeting there will be a fine for the fuel pump incident. Yes, I was there at Leon's Motors when your car arrived. Think POSITIVE! And yes, you'll never quite know where I am hiding.

I couldn't find us in the last issue, but I do admit to being a bit blind.

Issue#6 went to the printers this morning. First cab off the ranks will be the subscribers before the end of the month. Newsagents get theirs Friday May6th. For Qld Vee Dubbers I'll be at the Bayside event May 15th.

Hey Drew, clean your engine bay and shift all the junk food wrappings off the back seat, then you should be able to find those electrical gremlins..ha,ha,ha.

Yeah, I should do something with the club mag. I kinda dropped it and ran this year, but I'm sure you understand. Talk with you at the next meet.

Cheers
