In Loving Memory..........

Bizarre - April 19th, 2003 at 09:56 PM

Um......yes it is true.

Was round Richard's fixing Blue. Fixed the hood springs, and Rich put new needle and seats in. Made a big difference. Much smoother.
Dropped my son home, went back then on the way home...........................

Blue passed away 3.30 pm 18/4/03

Sad part is ...... it was my fault.
Rain, not looking, and................dunno. One minute clear, one minute 'OH F@CK!"

Anyway, i am insured and hopefully i can repurchase afterwards.

Yeah, Nats coming up. I will have to front now with a paper bag over my head!

Good news i suppose is the car park. Allways a few good specials out there.

I just wanna turn the clock back!!!!!!!

Whhhhhhaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still getting over the stupidity of it all.
Ego has taken a bigger battering than Blue!
Was only a couple hundred yards from home.
Hopefully none of the locals saw too much!

Went to the show and no..... i think for the first time i didnt see anything that too my fancy.

Still in that limbo land of actually getting confirmation that blue is "dead" Still waiting on Mr NRMA to say those fateful words......"its a write-off"

Still IF they do decide to repair ( :o ) i would be happy / amazed.
They one part that says "repair" means i dont have to go through the hassle of claiming the leftover bits.

Ohh..... its gunna be a llllooonnngggg week

kombi_kid - April 20th, 2003 at 09:21 PM

cheers

As I said the other day mate, thats sad news SON...

I know of a blue and white 66 Beetle sitting in the shed waiting for a recently built engine to go into... :cool:

buzzbug - April 21st, 2003 at 08:12 PM

There is a 74 1300 for sale in huskissen which is on jervis bay, the body looks ok and it has a bit of an interior retrim and has a set of 15inch performance minilites on it. they are asking $5000 for it but i am sure that it would be negotiable.
