HOLY CRAP!
I wonder if Phil's got boxes of them in his Garage???
What would an autographed Copy cost??
WHOAH!!!!! :jesus
Crikey! It's currently $143.70!
Must be a good book! 
and I thought it was only after " one croaks " that your works become valuable..........
Phil... Phil , are you still here.?
I also was going to say" how much would it be worth if he is dead?"- but decided not to- this book looks fantastic, something to look for at swapmeets, markets etc
Yeah probably just as well you didnt say it KombiKim, gives me a chance to 
Yes fellas, I'm still here, and boy I'm surprised as anyone! I wish I'd hung on to a few!
That book came out in 1993. We did an initial print run of 500, then another 1,000 after that and that was it. I remember taking boxes of them to
Valla Park in '93 and only selling half of them - they were $24.95 when new.
Eventually they all sold; I kept one copy for myself and gave one to my folks. There's another (dog-earred) copy in the Club Veedub library - and
there's another copy in Bankstown Municipal Library too.
It's WAY overdue for an update, which I'm working on in my spare time. Re-reading the original now - ooh, it's not that good. In fact
much of it is quite awful - but I will fix that.
The difficulty will be the situation with my original co-writer, a difficult person to work with and with a somewhat flatulent writing style. He has
retired to the north coast somewhere and i have lost track, but there may be legal problems with a new edition unless he is involved or, at least,
informed. We will see. I'm working on it anyway - thanks all for your kind words.
I also have another VW book in progress - the very best VW tech, history and humour articles from Club Veedub Sydney's magazine Zeitschrift,
1985-present, in one republished edition. Who knows when that will be finished...
Jeez Glen Has gone off line- I wonder if he is on his way to Bankstown Library :jesus
anyone have a spare so i can lend it??? i promise ill give it back!!
pppppppplllllllllllllllleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaasssssssssssssssssssssseeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
cheers

Phil,
Make sure you let us know when the new book comes out, I'm sure you'll get alot more takers this time round.
A couple of copies of rev2 for me please.
Just give the co-writer some royalties and tell him after its published he'll be fine
:bounceNEWS FLASH!!!!
Bankstown Library was broken into last night & one book stolen-
Police said the robbery was unique in that
it was possibly the first time a VW Beetle was used in a ram raid - 116.67% of witnesses said it had Towelrail bumpers, 100% said it did not- nobody
identified it as a Baja,
Police suspect it is linked to a home invasion 30 mins later at Milperra where the occupants were eventually released unharmed after one of them
signed a book
Who do you know that lives in Bankstown can we use a FAKE ID ??
imagine the late fee fine.
and people thought it strange that I was changing the look of my car,
Now what colour should I make it.?
on a positive note: the book is quite worth a read, however my copy looks like its been well used....:o
Holy Snappin A Holes Fill
I am gunnasell my autographed copy...
And start bidding at $500.00
$233 must be a record price for this RARE gem
