Welcome tonyvw,

Cork is a beautiful part of the world. My grandfather Rowan [mother's father], came from Cork.....around 120 years ago!

Cheers,

Greg

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

and a "top of the morning to ya" Tony

We don't hear much about EIRE down here...

My ancestors came from over there too...

Luckily We don't have the major rust problems of other countries...

is Your Beetle a Non Super or 1303 Super beetle??

I know 1300 Non Supers were common over your way..

cheers
