yeah i got a shit load of vw pics from vw museum and the autostadt i just have to resize them and upload them somewhere
as for the Parthenon yeah they are rebuilding it from the parts that have fallen off from wars and earth quakes (this thing is indestructable)
did u know that pythagorus calculated and designed it to make it sonic boom proof, back then they didnt know what a sonic boom was but can u believe they thought of the future back then
Also apparently there are Greek Parthenons in China and Philidelphia, America but the Americans have turn them into Army Bases to hide them from the world :vader

ok i finally got time to scratch my self so heres a couple of more pics from my trip which i promised i would post 馃檪
Heres my friend Gianpietro's 62 Italian spec beetle in the wheet fields of Abbruzzi
Heres Gianpietro's mate Vicenzo who is a total VW nut who got this camera off the same guy he bought his beetle from. Its an original 30 - 40's Nazi Leica camera. It was heavy and pretty immac for its age the pics are a little blurring as i couldnt keep my camera still as i was too excited!
Heres Pics of Vicenzo's Beetle an original 1959 ragtop 1 owner with 80,000 miles on the clock. It has every original accessory u can get for 50's beetle's from VDO clock and gauges, Kamei parcel compartment, original whitewall wheels this car was a gem he even had the original first aid kit!
Funny thing is the Italian spec late 50's beetles had no smeaphore only these really small 50/50 tail lights, and small fender indicators at the front...
Heres some cars from the VW Museum in WOB (not the Autostadt)
G40 Golf
A special edition MK1 TDI 馃槈
G60 Mk2 Golf
MK3 Golf A59 (widebody)
One of Porsches racecars for VW
VW Nardo W12 fresh off the race track!
what do u get when u cross an aussie with too much lemoncello in Capri?
