hey ctefeh

What do you drive? i am in Canberra at least twice a month, sometimes more, as both my son and i compete in races at the AIS. Sometimes we take the blu Kombi if its an over nite stay and sometimes we take the 68 beetle if we have to come back the same day/nite. I'll keep an eye out for ya.
Have seen a really nice splitty in Northbourne on occasions, cant remember the number plate, not yours by any chance?

ned

i plan to live forever.....so far so good.

Ned,
No such luck! I drive a Jeep, my wife has Klaus (71 super semi-auto), who isn't registered yet...floor pan work and oil leaks to cure...and she still has to get her "L"'s.....

You see a hell of a lot more than I do. I saw a blue bug in woden today and that is it. Whenever I am out in mine I never see any others. I see most of them on the ride to and from work in the bus.

Maybe we should try and get them together at some stage.

Hmm,
Getting them together might be a tough job as I'm usually sailing past going in the opposite direction with a concrete divider in between. I figure there's more in Civic because of the Uni...

Today....the sad super with about 100 Kg's of bird cr*p on it at Target again......and pulling out of Erindale.....
a white bug with...sniffle...Hurricane mags....old school cool....yesterday a red-brown 71 in Ainslie....

The ones I see regularly in Canberra... grey '64 bug with red flash in Kambah and Woden, yellow LHD KG on the Parkway, green super in Kambah, metallic red bug in Woden, a couple of different cabrios on the Parkway, plus about a million white/light blue bugs of all ages, plus about a trillion kombis of all ages and colours... the best of all though is a red&white bug that I see every day 😉
