Don't know bought the black splitty. Just wondering what did we all find? I picked up two 15 X 8.5 fuchs (repros) so the buggy gets a B’day😀

3toes · 5 Oct 2003, 6:48 pm

Don't know who bought the splitty but it coughed it's way just outside the oval before being parked under a tree.

jenz58 · 5 Oct 2003, 7:09 pm

Ok we're all wondering who bought the splittie LOL

I've seen it before though. Someone must know???

I got there after most people had left so not much to tell:jesus

Saw a lot of nice Vee Dubbs heading into Melbourne on my way there😀

AussieKombiUte · 5 Oct 2003, 8:23 pm

It was good to see a swap meet that you didn't have to search through HQ/Torana/XY/Falcon crap just to find a bloody half decent hub cap:P
Come on people, this was a huge VW only event so there has got to be more said about the day???

AussieKombiUte · 6 Oct 2003, 9:08 pm

GASBNR · 6 Oct 2003, 10:58 pm

A Big shout to those who put the idea into action,
I had a great morning.
Is it going to be an annual thing or more regular??
OL

jenz58 · 6 Oct 2003, 11:02 pm

Bill said it will be on again next year:thumb

So looks like it could easily become an annual event. Hopefully it grows each year so it does

Kafer Lover · 7 Oct 2003, 12:54 am

I got a toy car for my son and a trip speedo for my wife's notch. Nothing for myself 🙁
Maybe next year

PHAT BUG · 7 Oct 2003, 5:46 pm

I sold a heap of stuff, a few pairs of spots, some picnic coolers heaps of other accessories and stuff. But I did manage to pick up a pair of breezies, some door handle scratch plates and some more early beetle front indicators, Ive got a fetish for them dont ask me why!

I think we should where name tags with our username on them next time, coz I didnt meet that many people from here.

vw54 · 7 Oct 2003, 6:57 pm

Dont forget to come to the VW Nats next Easter ,.... as we usually have 60 or so sellers....

3toes · 8 Oct 2003, 11:58 am

Boys,
lets get something straight here. Next to the 3 ugly sisters (kk, skewy & Unity), me and Rhett look like the best bits of george Clooney and Brad Pitt.
The fasty will be going to DOVW and the interior will be done by then and hopefully my outstanding rubbers will have arrived as well.
Chris

3toes · 8 Oct 2003, 9:03 pm

What new workshop is this Damien? Got to build a retaining wall in the garden this weekend but if you fancy a few beers i'm up for it. The rubbers still haven't arrived from the UK but i drive the car to work everyday. My rear window is slightly bigger than the one in the squareback if that helps!

3toes · 8 Oct 2003, 9:13 pm

Are you going to raise it up slightly cos that thing rode like a git. I thought it looked real cool with all the different colours in it and my Berg shifter.
