Hello star,w'ere quite gentle here not like STF,unless you mention 1916's or ceramic coating.P.S.my apologies to our American cousins,i know your lurking.:kiss


star - August 14th, 2003 at 07:12 AM

hi marc,
is bethany a bug or a bus?
im into both, as well as lilybug we got lucyvan a 73 bay devon with a westy interior and phillycar 73 convertible bug who unfortunately is off the road at the mo:( needs some work.

lilybug seemed the perfect name for her as she is every shade of red imaginable. i was going to call her tammy but it seemed a bit obvious!

welcome Star from another '69 bug owner.

G'day mate

We will have a bit of a lingo problem here though :D

A few grouches here dont fink split busses should be called samba's or T2 Type 2's be called bays :D:D

But what is a Devon???
Is that a 73 Kombi in that tan brown colour????

Lucky you - a 73 super? vert!!!.
Love to have a lovered GL vert!!

Again - welcome


Anyone notice we are getting more world-ish??


squizy - August 14th, 2003 at 09:23 AM

Devon....yummy processed smallgoods eaten by kids....and the occasional adult?

Welcome Star.....anyone in England this time of year I am truly jealous of. Come on the Football season!

Squiz....

hi star


star - August 14th, 2003 at 08:03 PM

i apologise, our lucy is always gonna be a bay window bus but i agree about the splitty samba thing. a samba is a samba when it got all the windows.
anyway sorry to offend anyone!:)
a devon is one of the many types of conversion of t2. it has an elevating roof that all goes straight up, 2 bunks and the cooker/sink/coolbox unit goes down the passenger side by the sliding door.but we got a wastfalia interior in her as with 2 kids is more practical.
squizy? not so much the football season but the weather! it baking! but yes i am one of the rare females that understands the offside rule:P


jenz58 - August 14th, 2003 at 08:18 PM

There will always be debate amongst Vee Dubbers about words/terms used;):sandrine

It's a mine field out there once you get into it:o:kiss

Baja - think of sheep noises and a laugh combined:party

Have been told that lowering is taking the roof line down, and not making car low to the ground. Aways thought slamming and lowering were similar or same:jesus

Sounds like there is a real cross cultural thing happening as well

Well it makes for interesting discussion:thumb

Just goes to show you should consider comming over here, and bring your VW with you! maybe all you UK VW people could charter a cargo ship and get a group emigration thing happening! maybe fill the boat up with some cool spare's and goodies and that will pay for the trip!
