It was a grandma's car from new and a couple of years ago a girl bought it for her first car with her dads help.

She painted the sides in "two tone" like a lot of beetles are, but used pink. So that has been painted over again.

She wanted it, she wanted the pink, but alas she did not want to drive a manual, so she only lasted a couple of months driving it and got a Magna instead.

So after it being in dads garage for a couple of years, it is on the market, and being in pretty fine nick, we are adopting her.

Fleur on the other hand wanted it, has to have it, will get what she wants, and uses the word Magna as a dirty word.

Nahhh
Went in to work and spent 6 hours cleaning up. Came home and took Pige out to pick Jodie up from work, she works a couple of Kays away from home so I can sneak her out and log it down as a test run (club plates) The Kombi is in getting the gearbox rebuilt, I spose I can kiss a $1000 or so goodbye, It has to be done though. 301.000 kms is not bad so I cant really complain too much. Thats about it for now. I spose I should go out and cutt the grass now its cooled off a bit outside. 34 today up here, humidity is a killer.

Limit is 15 kay radius. We are only a small club so we all try not to abuse the restrictions. But we use the rules to their full effect we have runs at every chance.

Hey Rob HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! Wow 40...hmmmmm I can still remember that long ago 😀

OK I just made it in on time...logged on hours ago and was doing things around the house and got side tracked.... so domestic lately..especially seeing Eddie works arvo's I like to do my stuff and relax when we're together...

Pete nice beetle 👍

I saw a nice original beetle driving in Ringwood yesterday with a 4 sale sign on it....pretty pale aqua type blue...60's...looked like original owner driving it

Now I go read up a bit on what else has been happening...

Poor Bel is under wraps...as in her car cover is over her...I have to get Eddie game enough to want to drive her with me back seat driving 😏

...he has driven Dr L who Eddie always calls Dr Franklin for some reason lol

It's not too bad at the moment cos I catch the train to and from work, and home late if I'm staying in town for anything...plus our weekends are full at the moment doing social things and not cruising down the coast....BUT it IS hard not being able to share the driving

It is great to be able to stay the night with friends like we did last weekend...just fall into a bed at 3.30 am after a good night

Pyro don't you just love those confusing zones...I've been booked doing 53 in a 50 zone ARGH!! Easy done.....Funny about those P plates flying off 😉 Mr Plod doesn't come with a sense of humour :jesus

I've gotta get some sleep tonight....thought I had hayfever but the pills I picked up didn't stop me sneezing so maybe a cold for the first time this year and we're going to see Joe Cocker at a winery near here Saturday night ... the night we met I was asked where I'd like to go and I said Joe Cocker at Rochford Winery and before I know it the tickets were booked ... I was only teasing and not expecting to be taken ...even though secretly I was really wanting to go :kiss

Pete how is Fleurs new beetle going?

Rob did you get those radio knobs for pige?

kafer....I can't believe you said that....you are slipping real bad 👍

...how long is zac away for? He'll log on ...he can't help himself 🙂

...hmmm a holiday would be good but I managed to get work with the bank over the 4 week break we have...in a different area....can't take leave without pay.. no way of surviving..maybe they will make me staff one day :sandrine

Penguin that Osam thing was so long n too tired to read it the other night...I know you had some wicked encouragement from a certain person whom inflation never touches

Mandie..when will the interior be done? How are you?

Bruce....you are after a beetle ....WHY? What's happening...it sounded urgent?

I went back to work today YAY. Got sick of DVD's and day tv and shit. I am probably a week early, but my boss is keen, and I get paid fully. TAC only pays 80% which sux bad when you've blown all your dough going overseas and just bought a money pit house, blah, blah, who cares. Let's just live life eh?

We are picking up the new Beetle on the weekend. YAY

TV programing for this time of year leave's a lot to be desired! Im glad you found a good replacement for Fleur's Beetle.
Jen
No I haven't found the buttons for the radio, well not in this country anyway. those radios were only installed as a dealer option in Europe. so getting bits in Australia is a bit hard. I spose Ill just have to bring them in from OS.
