ok, Hi, im Chris [Hi everybody]
I had a mate who owned a late vw beetle in the backyard of his acerage. He told me to get in, and we hooned around the back yard fishtaling and having the best time of our lives. That was when i got hooked, bait, line and sinker (or however it goes)
So i looked into it on the internet. (beetles that is). I became adicted, [literally] craving to see or know more about them every day. My want for a Torana faded quickly, and it was vw all the way.
Then during my search through carsales.com.au, i came across a vw beetle based buggy. At first glance, i was like WOWWWWWOWOWOW! I wanted that, I could kill for that. It was going to be my first car, even though it would probably take 4 years + to get it.
I searched the internet more, with the craving growing. 1st, i came across www.beachbuggy.com.au. A beach buggy provider at Corrumbin (south Queensland). I loved them. But they weren't as nifty/sporty/sparkly as i wanted it to be.
So my search continued. And out came www.sharpbuilt.com.au. Yes, oh Yes, i wanted one of theirs. a GS Limo Sportsman with a GS Limo Offroad chassis/running gear. And from there on, months of research has developed my juicy brain up to be prepared for the construction of the kit. (however, the one om planning to get is semi-preconstructed.)
So from there, i wanted more info, looking for donor chassis and pricing them. And when i came to quieries i couldn't find answers to, i emailed KlubVWoffroad for help. They refered me to your guys, saying that you guys were the ones who would be best to help me.
And here i am, still researching and dreaming. Pretending that my mums ford laser is a buggy, imagining driving in it, thinking of what i would do with it.
My goals in getting this buggy is to stand out of the crowd. Not to be some wanna be cool ganster, but to be an individual, to be me. I want a vehicle that has character, that is fun (especially after checking out KlubVWoffroads video clips of the buggies having fun in the dunes). I want to get into the offroad concept, have fun. I want to show off my individuality and turn heads.
I want a car that will also be able to handle rough terrain, rough conditions. You never know what terrible things you may come across when traveling. (floods, storms etc.) I also want to achieve something in life, have a decent hobby. Building a buggy is a challenge for me (well a start) and gives me something to do for fun. Whether its adding this, modifying this, starting a new project, going for a sunday drive or joining a club. This is my goal/ambition in obtaining a buggy.
My background. Well, i am in year 12 in school at the moment. Im an Australian, white caucasian, Scottish, Irish, italian descent (from my great great grand parents), i go to St. Laurence's College, South Brisbane. I attended St. Matthews primary. I got 5 As and 3 Bs in my last report card (not bad for an OP ay?) and attend the subjects of Physics, Chemistry, Information Technology, English, Maths B, Art & Religion.
I plan to go to university next year and obtain a degree in Architecture. I have no enemies, have a lot of life stories (when it comes to embarrassment and girlfriends), have great friends and hate drugs, smoking, strong-alcoholism.
I see myself as being friendly, just, sometimes wierd and random, intellegent, creative, and accepting of all peoples from all cultures and am willing to learn. etc. etc. (I'm being honest, not up myself).
I also work at Byrning Spears and happen to be lucky enough to be the only male working there.
I am only a couple of months in experience when it comes to vw beetles and buggies, so i haven't got much knowledge when it comes to the location of information. And this is also my first forum i have ever joined. (hence why i don't have much knowledge with the use of a forum, like this one)
So there you are, a little bit of info about myself.
So, yeah.
