Hi, My name is Sam, I'm a 1972 SB owner, having fun getting reaquainted with veedubs after quite a few years with other cars..remembering the quirks that's for sure! I'm attempting a little rebirth on my old girl as the PO's haven't given her much love, just putting things back on that have gone missing is making a huge difference.

"Gretchen" is not original in any sense of the word as she's got an after market roof chop but she's still a great old car. Attempting a 'Rebirth' and not 'Full Resto'-it's a girl thing-I'm doing what I can do myself and relying on the kindness of mechanic friends for the heavy stuff, can't afford a full resto and paint just yet but at least she'll be on the road and I'll be smiling.

I also have a modest collection of Vespa scooters and keen to hear from others who have scooters, I have a theory that scooter people also like VW's..i think it's the curves 😉

Look forward to talking VW 🙂

Hi Sam welcome to aussieveedubbers. Good to hear you're back in the VW scene after a break from these often quirky but loveable cars. Have you got any photos of your superbug for us ? Although some people frown apon a non-factory convertible, I don't care it's still a vdub and if you give it some TLC it can give you years of good service.
Although I am sceptical about owning a convertible in south west victoria🙅 (I used to live in warrnambool) but I guess even up here in queensland you hardly ever see people with their roof down.
I love my motorbikes but I had a trip to europe last year and after a couple of hours watching the traffic in Rome, all I wanted was to roar around with the locals on a vespa !
I can see why people LOVE these scooters. So post some shots of the vespas aswell I reckon.
