Heres a nice old accessory gas heater brochure for Oval era beetles. Cool artwork I reckon.

Hey Dean

Cool old ad

Ya shoulda been on the econo run to Ballarat with us🙂

It was very, very cold but good fun.

These new fangdangled gas BBQ's in parks are no good to keep warm by:jesus

Luckily there was a good big rotunda type shelter with the BBQ in it cos it rained most of the time

Jay's Wolf has good heaters so we were toasty in the car

Just got home and I'm sure we just had a big shower of sleat, brrrrrrr!!!!!!

Heater is now on:bounce:bounce

Hot coffee and the puter for me now:rudolf

Hey smilies have been rearranged, thought for a minute we may have scored some new ones nad went along the lines to check:cussing:P

LOL That was lucky🙂

I'm sure there was a big shower of sleat just as I was leaving your place. So lucky we swapped our VW'S around when we did:thumb

Hey Jay does Wolf have one of those 'Fresh Air Heaters'

Read second page, top. 'Your VW is always as cosy as your home....'

Very appropriate ad for today Dean :bounce:bounce

Nah Jen, just the stocker heater 🙂 Just very effective! No rust in the heater channels I guess.

Well, stocker heater is good, no rust makes it even better🙂


We needed someone there today with one of those 'Stationary Heaters', that stayed warm, in their VW so we could all stand around and keep our hands warm like in the first pic.:thumb

Were they out here in VW's

Spewing I couldn't make it to the econorun, I had the Scouts over all weekend rebuilding a trailer in my shed. They're turning my old SEC trailer with rotten floorboards into a nice steel-floored trailer with a removeable weatherproof box for their camping gear. :thumb

Unfortunately with all the rain we had, combined with the traffic of parents stopping by to check on progress, my driveway has now turned to slop. I nearly get bogged just driving to the shed now! :o

I've been doing my mileage since the engine rebuild, and I seem to be averaging about 15l/100kms, but I haven't had it tuned properly yet (my attempts don't count! 😉)

Keep doing those excercises, it's amazing how weak the muscles get after not doing your normal stuff

God I found the excercises boring:jesus

Wah, can't remember the twitchy muscle thing happening, must have blockED the memory😉

Look after yourself and keep up the RICE🙂

Oh, remember the machine now:o

Very weird sensation

Electrical stimulation of the muscles:jesus

Rehab is such fun:sandrine

You get RICE drummed into you when you do Sports therapy studies, well for any traumatic muscle injury

How the frozen peas going? Getting nice and squishy
