Don't argue with an idiot; people watching may not be able to tell the difference.

Shame there isnt one closer to home but it doesnt seem to be a happening thing! Im so prepared to travel tho if I find one im happy with and doesnt tell me a bunch of bull and treat me like an idiot! Just a long way to get towed if something happens.. Ill have to upgrade my RACQ membership!! 😂

Any ideas on the 1916 engine build?

Yep rodger at southside for your servicing but don't mention the 1916 he only does "stockers"Damo at aircooled motor works on the north side of brissy and matt berry at the north coast both do turn key pre run engines,i can give you a sample of some matt berry 2332 maddness if you comeup 2 see rodger i'm just around the corner from him.

Dangerous Dave is closer to you by the sounds of it.

Roger hates modified VW's and will only work on them if he has to. "it was perfect the way it came from the factory" he always used to say to me when I went there for bits when i was in a pinch.

Hmm well i might not go to Rodger at all then.. my bug isnt stock at all.. Is dangerous Dave the same Dave Buttler Cole was talking about? Thanks to all who are replying!! This is VERY helpful 😀
