The house across the road from me is owned by a bloke who makes surf films. He comes here for R & R.
He's been here this week & his house guests are pro surfers, ex pro surfers & members of his crew. None short a quid.
I get home the other day & he has a houseful. The street is filled with new BMW's, a Mercedes, an MG & one had one of those Holden wagons that look like a 4wd (for getting the jet skis in & out of the water)
There was a few of them sitting out the front so I sung out,
"What's wrong with this picture?? How is it the 250 pound biker has a fleet of Kombi's, & the shark f#ckers have got beamers??"
Then the funniest thing happened.
To a man, they asked if they could come over & have a closer look at my fleet.
So here's all these blokes saying how great it would be to cruise to Byron in my 57 without so much as a fuel gauge, when the cheapest of their cars was the 50 grand Holden!
Every one of them at one stage had owned a beetle or kombi.
The answer to my question: Surfy types do own VWs, til they get a quid.

Classic.
"The answer to my question: Surfy types do own VWs, til they get a quid."
Yeah, then they get bored with driving/riding in the same expensive car with a different badge over and over again, and they think:
"You know, I really should buy myself a nice, restored dub, for something different."

Nice enough bunch of blokes though.
I got them going when I asked where the line was drawn between pro surfer & dole bludger, because the two look a lot alike to me.
