Finally we have an aussieveedubber representing us on the box. in sydney at least.

ducky - August 26th, 2003 at 10:18 PM

:) Saw the show and just knew craig would be on the site. Loved the makeover thank god for DIY cause judging by the stae of the house your poor girl could have waited a lifetime for that proposal. I saw the buggy down the side whats your plans??????????? going by the show it may take some time


The_Bronze. - August 26th, 2003 at 11:38 PM

"Check this out darl, some bloke with a VW ripped out all his walls"

I drag myself away from the mountian of school work and sit bleary eyed down at the tele. Missed the buggy but loved the show.

The wife got the tissues out at the end. Love the house and look forward to the bucks night invite.

Craig Torrens whoi is amember of this site and is a regular in Hill Climbs, got his arse on TV on one of those home renovation show, DUY Rescue on Ch9. On the show, he put the TV hosts Leaha and Greg into his 1916cc race Beetle and took them for a tyre fryin' joy ride up his driveway! :D


Stanley - August 27th, 2003 at 11:58 AM

Nice one Craig Guys coming up all day at work "did you see the VW on tele last night didn't know Vw's could do that".

VW's all of a sudden have new fans.

Congrats Craig,

Steven


Craig Torrens - August 27th, 2003 at 06:27 PM

Thanks to All !!

I had the best four days of my life filming the show, and to have the Hillclimb Beetle shown on TV was fantastic !
Leah had two runs up the drive and then had to sit down for 4hours to calm her nerves.:D:D What a great chick:thumb

All the crew were stunned when I did the first launch up the driveway, and they all thought it must have been powered by a Porsche!
I hope all enjoyed the show, the rubber is still on the driveway:D


OvalGlen - August 27th, 2003 at 07:29 PM

Good one Craig, now are you sure you dont want to put a sluggy stroker in it ?:D


byronbus - August 27th, 2003 at 09:57 PM

Craig Torrens - August 28th, 2003 at 11:56 PM

Had coffee in the city today, and was recognised by some "petrol" heads, didn't care about the reno's just the
" FULLY SIK DUB mate"
