Hello !
On my way home last night i saw a very very cool bug driving up Erskinville Road then saw it again parked outside the Rose of Australia Hotel in Erskineville - looked white with a burgundy racing stripe, roof racks and back wheels covered and possibly red/burgundy interior ! It looked very sweet !

Anybody know if it lives in the area?

Cheers 🙂

Yeah , the erko bug is mine. you will find it parked outside the Rose of Australia alot, my best mate owens the pub 😀

thanks for your comments, i think the old girl is a bit ruff ... but she it very solid / no rust what so ever ! ... and is still running the original motor.... not bad for a daily driver that was built in 57.

the names , Finn .... next time you see me , come up and say HI !

hey bug crazed girl...

flog the laser quick... every day you wait it depriciates yet those fun loving body melting heart stopping vw's are appreciating. and being in sydney the sooner you have your baby the better the drive in peak hour.

i noticed how much nicer everybody was when i was driving around in the bus. they would happily let you change lanes, wave to you and even chat at lights. amazing who you would meet on the daily grind to work.

am i stirring the pot?

You don't need to stir the pot twoguns it's simmering and about to over flow already !!!! I have my task list already written down..thing is i am going O/S in a couple of months so i'm planning on selling the laser before i leave then come back, get a loan and buy a cool late 50's early 60's bug !!
