mrboombastic - April 22nd, 2009 at 03:07 PM

Im in Devonport. Bright Yellow 73 Super soon to be on road :)

While on the subject of tassie where would be the best place to pick up a 4 stud beetle wheel around the state? Too exxy to ship across the water and my bug didnt come with a spare.


glencsiro - April 22nd, 2009 at 06:18 PM

I'm just south of Hobart.
Glad to see someone's taken the efort to network the Tassie VW fans.


62deluxe - April 24th, 2009 at 06:35 PM

I'm down in Hobart. There are a few of us on here..


Tassiesilk - May 6th, 2009 at 06:30 PM

Well its good to hear that there is a few of VW'S out there, just keep them coming people, when will you be having your next run, if you have them, gee I hope so ?????????????????
Would be nice to just drive around Tassie, I'm sure your VW's love to cruise on w/e's, but maybe you VW's out there arn't into this.........

My uncle owns Swell Cafe in Bicheno...I'm down there quite a bit. I'll keep an eye out next trip :)


Vanders - May 8th, 2009 at 09:11 AM

Hey Silverbullet, have you still got any kombi bits and pieces? I'm still missing a few bits from that motor and box I bought from you.

Cheers,

Paul

BTW Tassiesilk I'm in Launnie. Not beetles, just a couple of kombis. Although a Type 3 Fasty would be nice.

What is the local VW scene like?

About 6 months ago I spotted a black oval with 54 "something" on the plates, looked very vice.


Don't see many old Beetle's on the road anymore, just the odd later bugs from the 1970s with the vented rear lids.


Rural Baja - September 5th, 2009 at 04:47 PM

Cruise up north of the state on the 20th. See here : http://forums.kombiclub.com/showthread.php?t=22754 

Ill be going, and so should you!


ragtopp - September 6th, 2009 at 08:50 PM

Join a vw club Des, good way to link up to plenty of older bugs. I know stacks on the road everyday.
Im a hobart surrounds boy to.


Tassiesilk - September 12th, 2009 at 10:30 PM

Hi VW people,
This is Tassie silk, well I have settled in Tassie. It hasn't been the best for weather but what do I expect, sunny days ... hehe... I have seen a few VW and Kombis around in the Launceston area.. There is two that don't live to far away from me in Waverley.. Might go and see them one day, I see one every time I go down to the Park, its lives on the side of a hill, a red one,and the other one is just up the road....
Well I haven't got my 1970 Beetle here as yet. Will be flying back home to Newcastle at the end of this month, will be seeing and spending a few days seeing my daughter, parents and friends, can't wait.... Then we will be traveling up to Warwick, in Queensland for the VW Drag Racing on Friday to Sunday. Staying at the camping grounds there, can't wait. Then after that, we will be traveling all the way down to Melbourne, catching the boat across. I just hope she holds up for the big long trip....
Will be great to see some VW's down this way and catch up, maybe we could even meet for a luncheon or a picnic, if the weather holds out. I miss the days that I had up in Newy, with our outings...
Well hope to see you.. ;) :tu:


rose - September 12th, 2009 at 10:54 PM

Yes I hope it makes it to Warwick and back.
