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

Jay_1965vw ·

yeah.. it was COLD!

Bloody cold. BRRRRRR

I furgot to turn off my heater this morning 🙁 at least my house was warm when I got home 🙂


Jay

jenz58 ·

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

Jay_1965vw ·

Yeah, I noticed the sleet too. Did a dash from the car port so I didn't get too wet.

jenz58 ·

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

*jenz is bouncing to keep warm*

vw54 ·

U lot should all moove to Sunny Sydney where the birds are singing and the sun is a shinning

jenz58 ·

Hmmm, maybe next winter. Too late now it'll be warm again here before I could git my act together

*jenz boosts the heater up another notch, brrrrrr*

Jay_1965vw ·

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

vw54 ·

Jay hows the new house going... make sure you turn the heater on in Summer as well especially after rain to dry out yr tunnels

jenz58 ·

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

Jay_1965vw ·

Hey Dave, new house is great 🙂 thanks for asking.

Remember I'm in Melbourne... We use the heater in Summer anyway cos its so cold :P:P:P

jenz58 ·

Hmmm, I got confused there for a minute, house, summer, turn on heater???:o

Then saw tunnels and the penny dropped. Thought for a minute ya was having a go at our summers down here Dave😉

Beautiful sunny warm day and i sat inside watching tele . . . . LOL no other choice really

jenz58 ·

Adz I can't believe you let a sunny day go to waste

*jenz thinks of her kids as teenagers*

Yes I can believe it!!!!

Adam_C ·

LoL study called . . . . and the fact i struggle to walk ATM ...... but its getting easier

Jay_1965vw ·

Struggle to walk? What happened??

jenz58 ·

Sounds like he sat too long watching the complete works of Shakespear for homework:P

Oh no, Adz you had your knee done!!! When did they end up doing it?? How long are you laid up for??

Hope you're up and about soon:sandrine

Keep the ice on it. Frozen peas are good:thumb

Jay_1965vw ·

EEK!!! Sounds like too much football!!

Hope it gets better soon Adam!!

jenz58 ·

Last I spoke to Adam he was playing footy from the side line🙁

Jay_1965vw ·

🙁 Not a fun way to play

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! 😉)

vw54 ·

Hey Col have you adjusted the tappets after yr re build...

jenz58 ·

Hey Kol, I'll visit again when the drive-way dries out. It's been a while🙂

Sounds like the scouts have you on your toes:sandrine

Adam_C ·

Yeh had the knee done, the went in and cleaned up the edge of my tibia coz the cartidge was damaged (medial side) caused by footy . . . im walking OK now but of a limp and yeh plent of compression and ice hehe went to physio and feels heaps better .... had the twitchy muscle pad thing on ..... thats a strange sensationlol

anyhoo thats wats wrong, 🙂 and peas? we have 1.5kg bag of party ice in the freezer 😉 bugger filling them trays up all the time

cheers
adz

jenz58 ·

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🙂

Adam_C ·

yeh its a little machine and electrodes . . . . like those fat burner things that "Danoz Direct" sell hehe only bugger and stronger lol


anyhoo . . . .RICE . . . yep doin it all hehe

cheers
adz

jenz58 ·

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

Jay_1965vw ·

I'm s'posed to do exercises for my knees 🙁

Bad J lol. Good thing I'm not going through rehab... I'm hopeless at remembering to do them.
