Forum Members already have a VW..
68AutoBug - March 6th, 2003 at 10:04 AM

[size=4]I believe that All the Members of this Forum have a VW of some sort already and MOST are NOT looking for another one... Due to lack of Space - lack of Cash- Divorce is too expensive - Lack of time to restore one - Satisfied Completly with what they have - Already have too many - Did I miss anyone??

SPOOK

Dont worry we all are in the dark when it comes to Lees comments. It might take a few weeks but we will all work it out,:puke:puke:puke:puke:puke

I, for one, am quite happy with what I got, but, if I find something that takes my fancy, then I'll grab it too.

I may not get around to laying a spanner on it for 2 years, but at least I'll know where it is.....:cool:


56astro - March 6th, 2003 at 11:17 AM

I've mulled over it for a while now and I think Lee is wanting to know of there is anyone here who doesn't own a VW.

I THINK????????

Am I right, Lee??

LEE????

A famous tv celeb. says it best, WHAT THE...?


XXX-1.8T - March 6th, 2003 at 12:47 PM

A lot of people think I was that sort of person - No VW but on this sight but im proud to say my Shazza is back and you'll see a lot of her at meets:bounce

I first saw this thread and thought "wtf?". Maybe it was a post meant for another thread where it would have been in context. Whatever.

In any case I'm a member (albeit a new one:)) and I don't have a dub. Yet. Anyone got a late 70's Kombi Microbus either good or cheap, let me know :)


NigeType3 - March 6th, 2003 at 01:00 PM

I was a member for 3 mounths before I bought my first VW I came here looking for ones for sale and just stayed has become very addictive.

Don't know about the rest of you but when it comes to VW's I'm never satisfied with what I've got. Always looking to make it better or looking for the next better one. Looking real hard now as it happens:cool:


68AutoBug - March 6th, 2003 at 01:58 PM

[size=4]Many forum members were complaining ! about not being able to sell their VWs on this forum, and I was just suggesting in a 'Scone sort of country way' , that We already had a VW or 2 or 3 & thats why it isn't a great place to try to sell... Parts seem to sell Well though... Yes, Wayne... My VW is still being restored... BUT it will be at Nambucca.. I am painting My New tie rod ends at the moment... "GOLD" .. sort of goes with the "YELLOW Master Cylinder and "RED Brake pipes"[/size]:D:o:thumb:thumb:bounce:bounce:bounce


baybuscamperkid - March 6th, 2003 at 03:53 PM

i am happy with the 1 i have got, but my father is looking on and off for a veedub to rekindle youthful memories and to replace the Laser.


jenz58 - March 6th, 2003 at 05:34 PM

Maybe if there are non-vee dubbers they are looking to become one or spies??:alien

(on the forum that is:jesus)

Robo - March 6th, 2003 at 07:02 PM

Well Im happy cause I have nearly finished the Kombi, but I am unhappy because I sold my 65 beetle, and don't have enough money to get another one!

Rob......:cry


XXX-1.8T - March 6th, 2003 at 07:28 PM

Actually I registered here b4 I had my dub but didnt make any posts cos I thought it looked stupid me posting if I dont have a dub.

The reason why I was on here was to find a nice bargain dub. Didnt find one here but found a bargain for $800 on the trading post. And thats how I met Shazza and fell in love. Brand new Teal paintjob with new chrome bumpers, the only thing wrong with her was she had no roof lining - still havent fixed that (havent had time)


jenz58 - March 6th, 2003 at 08:10 PM

So sweet:):sandrine

So glad you and Shazza met eventually;):kiss


jenz58 - March 6th, 2003 at 08:20 PM

Won't start a new post here but maybe not all forum members have a VW as XXX-1.8T

So many people out there love beetles or kombi's but don't own one. They may be looking or dreaming still. Who cares? If they sit quietly in the background, then that's OK. Hopefully they get a good feel for us and eventually post something, or reply, maybe even buy a VW. I'm sure that's what we're here for?

I love the forum and the people here, whether or not we all own and are fanatic about our vee dubbs:kiss OK differences are expressed but that is a good sign of a communicating community:thumb Viva le difference:bounce


manx020 - March 6th, 2003 at 08:48 PM

i`ve got 2 vw`s presently...my manx & the baja kombi i`m building. but nothing beats the hsv enhanced statesman my wife owns. i`m allowed to drive it too sometimes. if i wash it & give it a service...

XXX-1.8T - March 6th, 2003 at 09:42 PM

I had Shazza for 3 weeks until she caught a light:puke took me 2 months to get her fixed and resprayed although it only cost me $200

Now we are back together cruising the streets of Bondi:kiss


70AutoStik - March 6th, 2003 at 11:10 PM

I'm a bachelor living in a mining town; so another VW is always a consideration... But my last boss' wife checked out this site and it was enough encouragement to convince her husband to finally buy one for her!


Ghia - March 6th, 2003 at 11:59 PM

This is really funny. Because on the main Uk forum you sometimes get people who sign up just to try and sell thier car or van, then get abussive when no one wants it. Usual answer is you're trying to sell to VW fanatics who know what they're worth and want bargains if they're going to add another car to their already over stocked collection :)


penguin - March 7th, 2003 at 06:47 PM

Really and truely I do, promise ;)

Promise to visit when step child is finished Silver (and as I mentioned when I picked up the seats, worth a try, they don't fit :(. So when I get around to it, they'll go up on the board)

jenz58 - March 7th, 2003 at 10:08 PM

Do Bel and Dr L exist?

YES THEY DO!!!!:kiss:bounce

Do I want to sell?

NO I DON'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:jesus

Am I looking for parts?

Often:D

When did I join the forum?

Very soon after buying Bel and a very quick, fruitful search on the net:thumb:):sandrine:bounce:D;):cool:

Bought this sweet old beetle and wanted to know how to look after her:kiss


ronster - March 7th, 2003 at 11:45 PM

I'm still looking for the bug of my dreams! :D

Yes, I'm one of the rare ones that joined this forum because I love VWs, beetles in particular but don't actually own one.


The_Bronze. - March 8th, 2003 at 07:09 AM

He's a runted little richard cranium. Sorry Unity - You can't replace 'Hey hey'.

I can't remember how I found the Fourm. I think it might have been my brother put me on to it as I don't do a lot of searching. Generally find on place and read it and it's subsequent up dates.

I don't read Buy, Swap Sell much. I would like another VW but choose to remain faithful to the Dog-O-War (71 Baja) as it hasn't failed me yet. I think my next will probably be a 4 seater buggy like GSLimo3's but with half the accessories. I like the Baja's and feel I'll probably stay in them for a few years until I know them back to front. After reading posts last night I think the rat-look is for me. I'm already half way there. Just need to get the mechanicals A1!
