I have a lot of early pictures, but looking through the forum first before posting them, so I don't look like a pain with duplicate posts etc..

"we've seen all that before etc.."

the hubcaps are available, try searching the Samba. very expensive though.

All the shows in the US and Europe regulary have displays of Wartime VW's. A Kublewagon was recently discovered in a barn in Germany after being stored since 1960.

Sorry I assumed other people may have been interested in pictures I had collected over the years from different places.

I will not post anymore then.

Mick058 · 15 Jan 2009, 11:59 am

i don't mind your photos, but maybe best to stick them in the photo section too.

No....I do appreciate VW pics. but there is an easier way to show them. Put a link to your photobucket album, where you can see all the thumbnails and view the pics you want to look at.

To put up a new post with a few pics.... then another post with more pics.... then another post with more pics.... then another post with more pics.... then another post with more pics.... then another post with more pics.... then another post with more pics.... then another post with more pics.... is tiring and consumes a lot of bandwidth to look at new posts on this thread.

But I think you missed my point........Everyone loves to shows their pics, even I do, but what is the point of showing all these pics taken from other websites?

Respectfully Sir I didn't want to cause a controversy, I merely wanted to show a few pictures to other enthusiasts who might enjoy them. I have been on numerous other car forums for years and to me it seems common place that people post threads with post after post full of pictures.

Someone might start a thread about a particular make and model of car with mag wheels, or custom paint work, then a few others respond with some more pictures, before you know it you have a thread with 20 replies full of pictures and chatter about them.

That is the great thing about forums, people from all over the world can share a passion for cars, chat about them, learn from each other etc..

That's all the pictures for this topic I have for now, maybe we can move on and talk about something else more pleasant?
