Here is a little story about hopes and disappointment with a vw theme.
So my girl and I attended Action day last week.
As you all probably know we took our time capsule bug for it's first outing since re - rego.
Anyway, about ten years ago I was working overseas abit and for a while I thought I was actually going to be staying overseas, so I thought it best to sell my beloved 1963 notch.
It was in same if not better original condition than our 62 bug.
Anyway I dream of finding it again.
I decided to put a wanted add on our bug at Action day in the hope of rustling up some info about it.
We had not been at action day for more than a minute than a guy came up to us and said,.. "I think I used to own that car. I sold it to a mate who needed an engine for his square back."
As you can imagine I was thinking.
Oh my God!!! are you kidding me. Could I have found it.
I said,.. "Is this guy still your mate??"
Answer,.. "Yes! I'll get in contact with him see if he still has it, I've taken your details." he says.
Anyway we got talking about cars we'd owned and it turns out he also owned my first bug after me. A blue and white 60/61 bug. That I bought off Guy Harding way way back. Also a lovely original bug.
How strange is it that we have both owned two vehicles the same with a different owner in between. What a coincidence!
So I digress.
The long and the short.
Has my phone rung this week???
No.
🙁
So if you are out there my old type 3, under a house or tucked away in a shed or worse,.. outside!! I'd still love to have you back even if you don't have an engine anymore.
The hope lives.
