or

HAVE A GO AT THIS!!!!!:thumb

zac_smits 路

have a go at this!!! that's the one i was thinking of
thanks jen. i knew you'd know :P

jenz58 路

Now you are really messing with peoples heads.....two very similar titles sitting next to each other..

So how's work going??? Finish at the call centre?

Have the week off....spent the day going nowwhere for a change馃槑 Didn't turn one engine over....:o

zac_smits 路

yeh i quit telemarketing (i stopped turning up for work) and now i work at joes on shannon...a restaurant. it's a lot better

the golf has had it's service, and has had it's brake pads and discs changed, and it is tuned slightly differently now for 'extra performance'馃槈
i just love double clutching on L's 馃檪馃檪馃檪

jenz58 路

Cool!!!:thumb

Sounds like our rides have been getting some pampering...馃檪

Bel has just had her shockers changed for the first time ever....can I notice the difference...

Dr L has had some tuning done and he is moving along so well now...

I must go get some temp door trims for Bel, her interior handles keep falling off as I drive along....the winders are pretty much on the floor permanently now...worried about chipping the paint on her seat runners every time they drop...

Robo 路

Jenz
Sounds like Bel is comming along nicely give us a bit of a run down on whats been done.
Hows your co pilot Bob doing these days?
Rob.....

pyr0 路

馃榾 hmm looks like the start of a new here today gone tomorrrow YAY 馃榾 maybey we could incorperate it withe the othe ones......forget its name but it was mentioned ^^^^^^^^^up there :P

Robo 路

I think this one is the the better thread, to many PPL have jumped into the other one! this one is mostly the original PPl
Rob...

jenz58 路

Sounds good to me...join forces:thumb

I know we are one or two members down from our 'Have a go.....' thread...Not sure if it is a permanent thing 馃檨

Bel's waiting to be painted....getting confused about where to take her...Just know I want a good job done...take her back to metal, no short cuts...but best price so I don't break the bank...

Think I need to find a 58 hood for her....someone mentioned it to me once...the one she has has got the round VW badge on top of her hood....pretty sure she's not meant to have one.....They don't have her year in the catalogs:o

Robo 路

I think 58's had the badge, but it was the one's you had to bend the tab's on, they were made out of pressed aluminium
The newer one's had spike's that pushed into plastic bungs, and were cast alloy that was chromed.
Rob....

zac_smits 路

yay...now i'm like the 'original' here today gone tomorrow thread starter...*zac beams*

has anyone heard of a volkswagen tourer? my uncle has one in his carport that he bought a while ago. it's a ragtop, white, has huge guards, and as my dad was telling me, it's definately not standard. i'll have to try get some photos from him. it's an interesting car.

zac

pyr0 路

hmmmm sounds interesting cant wait to see the pics of the modded tourer thingy :P

jenz58 路

Get that camera out Zac...sounds interesting

OK so I only have the wrong badge馃槑 sorta...馃槈

splittychick 路

Heh y'all.........so good to be back.

Heh Jen my kombi just had a tune & new shockers put in as well it feels like a different car,no more clanging coming from the back area.it use to sound like there were some coke bottles rattling around back there.I also got a new exhaust....WOW....i keep expecting the backfiring but it doesn't happen.Amazing how use to a wrong sound you get that it begins to sound normal.you use to be able to hear me coming a mile away but no more.....................shes purring like a kitten.
I got Anth to come around & check out my splitty to see what panels/rusty bits need replacing so now i can order them & so the major parts of the restoration can begin.I'm very anxious to get it under way.
Jen are you going to the Christmas party on Sunday??????I've got someone to cover the market for me so we'll be there馃榾
Heh Zac,the tourer may be a modified type 3 as thats what our convertible fasty says on its rego???Just a thought!Look forward to seeing some photos.:thumb

Hope everyones well...........cya馃槈

jenz58 路

Hey Mandie....sounds like we've all been busy while the forum was down...lol

Bel was the same after then new shockers and wheel bearings 馃檪

No, I'm heading up to Sydney for 3 days to gather bits I need for Bel (good excuse!!)...We're already getting busier at work so jumped in and got time off before it is impossible..

It's a great day so enjoy it.....

zac_smits 路

zac

Stanley 路

Why the hell can't we get the old thread back.

I've just checked on some threads eg. phatest ride game and it's the original thread.

C'mon tazz help us out here. i don't give a rats about post counts unlike some members so thats not the issue

(disclaimer - not directed at anyone at this thread)

Robo 路

Looks like we just have to put up with this new one!
Jenz...
Make sure ya have plenty of money on ya when your navigating the Sydney "TOLL" road network, a lot easier to get around nowdays, but it come's at a price!
Rob....

jenz58 路

Will take a bag of loose change...馃檪:thumb

Sorta getting used to the roads there and been out in that direction before...should be OK...

Had my daughter navigate for me last year.....argh!!!...She was not very good馃檨

Robo 路

Have you got any particular VW shops you want to visit!
Rob....

jenz58 路

Just VVW really....

Maybe Pendle Hill out of curiousity....remember the pics someone posted ages ago...

Robo 路

Vintage Vee Dubs at Campsie is a good place to check out.
Volksbahn, was one of my local shops when I still lived in Sydney, lots of good stuff and nice PPL, still have my discount card!
If your after second hand stuff, there was another place at Riverstone, AP spares.
HM Ferman are impoters of VW stuff, their at 95-105 Boundary Rd Peakhurst.
Rob...

jenz58 路

Thanks Rob...

Is the place in Riverstone the one in 'Buying, Swapping and Selling'?

Robo 路

Don't know, you would have to look them up in the Sydney yellow pages.
Rob...

jenz58 路

I can manage that...馃檪

Do they have lots of old VW parts?...

toybug 路

ok aTOURER is a soft top that has back seats in comparison a roadster has no back seats

Volksbahn and Vintage are the best two.
Rob...

zac_smits 路

okay.... i idn't end up riding to his place..i went out with a few mates instead. i will get around to it though. yes this tourer does have fron and rear seats but as you will see when i get some photos of it, it still looks weird/different.

zac


p.s we are still trying to crack 100000 posts.

Robo 路

Where is everyone?
Rob....

zac_smits 路

i'm here...but it seems that no-one else is

zac

Robo 路

Pretty bad showing, something cool on the idiot box or something?
Rob....

zac_smits 路

looking at the online tv guide...i'd say.....nope

jenz58 路

I took myself to a movie in town...'Dances of Ecstasy'...a doco type one...and the film makers where there to answer questions...

Then I spent time in one of my fav book shops Readings...and then had dinner and flicked through a book so I didn't feel completely weird there on my own....

So where are you guys now...getting some beauty sleep...?

Riaan 路

Were not gonna crack 10000 tonight, cause im going to bed:P

Robo 路

So surf today???

We're got Q'ld weather...sunny...thunder storm...then sunny and humid...just thought I heard thunder again....

Sounds like Sydney got hit bad yesterday...our predicted storm for yesterday passed by north of us......:o

Robo 路

No surfing today, the ache's and pains of doing it yesterday would be too much, going again tomorrow.
I think it was either me or Squizzy that bagged the 100,000 post!
Rob.....

Robo 路

Morning PPL

Rob....

Robo 路

Yeah, Its great.
Actually have heaps of enthusiasm about it again, makes me feel 15 years younger, sorta reliving my youth, and I can tell ya it was a bloody fantastic time of my life. Didn't realise how much I missed it until I hit the water the other day! Fantastic.
Rob....

jenz58 路

I was the same in Tassie.... walking in those national parks, swimming and getting away from things....it felt so good....crazy how we forget to keep doing these things...other things take over for a while...whatever...good to get back to something that makes you feel so good:thumb
