Currently the only ones that I know of are yourself, garybugger, countrybuggykid, 2kombis, a guy in Swansea(sorry forgot your name), Damian(forgot his handle)in Launceston, and me. Got the state covered but sparsely, need more. volma1

duncombemu · 23 Jul 2003, 10:20 pm

I live in Swansea. Swansea is on the central east coast of Tasmania. I run Duncombe Emu Farm. I produce skin care products, made with Emu oil as a major ingredient. I also have a passion for Beetles, models 1960-1970.

Does Tasmanians now living in Qld count. Born in Launceston and grew up in Devonport.🙂

volma1 · 23 Jul 2003, 11:00 pm

They probably count, but I think Kevin has other ideas, maybe a gathering of local forum members, I don't know but I'll keep posted. volma1

Craig Torrens · 24 Jul 2003, 11:07 pm

Well I spent 2 weeks in Tasmania last year checking the roads out for Targa. Very nice, and the roads are calling for big speeds, the Fairmont had many a time on the speed limiter😀😀

Coming back to Sydney home prices I'm amazed more people don't live there!

62deluxe · 25 Jul 2003, 10:08 am

I'll have to get back to you on the -1 posts sikdub. I have no idea!! Maybe someone stole them and now I'm in posts debt. Bit like my visa really! Maybe this will make it zero.:o

62deluxe · 31 Jul 2003, 3:54 pm

Isn't everyone sick of @#%$*# Reggie. It's not like she or any of the others did anything worthwhile except laze around and do bugger all. Hey, sounds like me, only without the $250 000 !! Who said she was stupid, not a bad hourly rate?
How many of you out there are coming to Tassie in Nov.? Never know you might bump into Reggie!!!:bounce:bounce

volma1 · 31 Jul 2003, 10:20 pm

You're right volma that's pretty poor. Although I haven't seen it either!! You wouldn't have any more room anyway!

Hi,
I'm new to the forum.
I own a '71 Super Beetle that I am trying to get cleaned up before I get my license in December.

I'm proud to be Tasmanian!

It all started when I found the passenger side carpet soaked after some rain.
I ripped up the carpet, then the tarboards.
I kept on learning heaps and getting more and more intrigued.
Before I knew it I was doing a body-off resto.

The body is back on now, so I'm using all my spare time to get it finished by December.
I'll try to attach a progress photo.

Talk to you all later.
Stephen

Gary

kOMBI KARMA · 11 Aug 2003, 6:35 am

hmm sounds alright, need some more details on this.
I must live on the suckiest place on earth as my town and surrounding towns dont have any volkswagen admirers but me, Im all alone in this neck of the woods, probably why I spend so much time here, no one else understands me...therefore no friends who would join me

last celtic warrior · 13 Aug 2003, 9:50 pm

Hey guys, I'm sort of getting back into the forum again.

I'm now living in Devonport Tasmania and dragged my buggy down here from Queensland on an "A" frame behind the Peugeot wagon (my truck) and then split the two cars again to take them on the ferry as seperate vehicles with my fiance (cheaper that way, 1 car per person travels free).

The buggy needs a little work to bring it up to scratch again, but it'll get there. It's copping a new aircraft style aluminium dash and other goodies to spruce it up. I'm looking forward to driving it in the snow up in the mountains next winter.

Here to stay now, so if you live near me (if you're in Tassie you're near me) let me know and maybe we can catch up, have a chat and maybe organise a weekend out in the dubs. celticwarrior71@hotmail.com

By the way, what's wrong with all the natives down here? It's not that cold...

duncombemu · 13 Aug 2003, 10:13 pm
