Got some photos of a fun day 😀, I do it often over at my mates place, hoon in a late bug they got, didn't get pics of the early basher that was the main motivation to my craze, but this one is the one i have had more fun in, 😀 cough cough... drifing... and sleddin' behind..
We tied an old sled to the back of it, was fun..., and absolutely sped insanely in the backyard drifting the corners etc... till we had probs with the starter that wouldn't turn and make the engine work. (battery was alright)... so we had to push start a few times... even tried that dangerous jack up one wheel, and spin in 4 th trick... didn't work! But... we got it going again after we push started 😀
was also slowly unbolting a mates celica engine for replacement... was a good day.
heres the pics...
(BELOW: the ride i cruised in 😀, don't worry purists, the cars already dead, body not worth saving, already distroyed, hehe)

I say the fun and moment was worth every cent, :P:P
Was fun... finally taking a bug up to its full potential lol.
Both early and late bug aren't gonna be restored, the early was going to be... but the owner (best mates lil' bro) just got himself an MX 6. its a very nice car :P:P, rather it than my 69 anyday.

Put ya BIG wheels on it! Rollover city!
A POSSE AD ESSE.
I live in my own little world, but it's okay, they know me here.
lol :P, OH YEAH! would luv ta, if the later bugs weren't 'tooooo cool' for 5 stud Hehe.
Dean's got it on 2 wheels before, i wasn't that crazy enough to, although i just barely missed an old Cressenda they had parked out the back lol.
Tis gonna be my test field for the baja 😀😀 once i get it regoed. light, and easy. they don't look after the bug though, the amount of dirt that must go through it. its airfilter is a tin can with a spunge, and i bet the fan shroud is filled with grass cuttings, but ay FUN!!!lol.

But one is a Mazda, the other is a VW.
It's terrible that someone could be so heartless as to destroy two Beetles like that!

ahhhh chris..... still diggin the hole haha :thumb
that basher is interesting - vinyl chop top?
nick
Yup, i'm sure i was a miner in my past life, Haha.
Yeah, it was a chop top, not done my my mates bro, it was like that when he got it. but the job was good though, the outta rim of the chop is VERY firm and doesn't flex at all. would run up to it, put a foot on a rear tyre and hop in via the roof (I call it the hillbilly method, lol)
the owner bought it from another fella by the coast, and the salt water spray has just absolutely rotted the thing. hard to see in these photos, casue the paint is a similiar colour, but the body is long gone and dead.
i should have got some actionshots, especially of the skiing 😀. Was like water skying, i would go fast, and turn sharp, drift around, and Dean would be flying out the back towards the side like a real ski, u should come over and have a go, Haha. Was the best hoon i have had in a while :P The thing could take pedal to the metal all day long.
