Hi All,

Yep, that was my g/f at Frozzy's Kat, not sure whether she's going to be making it to Byron with me, she may be working, but I'm there with bells on.

In reference to Shrek being ugly, (*shame*) yes you're right, I always knew in my heart :( , but it does suit his name, and he is my first Vee Dubb, and I love him really :P

Shrek - May 17th, 2004 at 07:20 PM

Next time you see me, stop me and I'll sell you an ice cream!!

Mrs M - May 17th, 2004 at 08:14 PM

I have a picture of Shrek at Woolworths Shopping Centre at Bribie Island 2 1/2 years ago.........

How about that.... it its not Shrek well then it could be another one up your way

Shrek - May 17th, 2004 at 08:53 PM

Wow!!

I wonder! He's been all round the country several times, so I really wouldn't be surprised.

I'd love to see it and see if it is him, let me know next time you're gonna be at an event in SEQ and I'll come find you!!


Anthiron - May 17th, 2004 at 11:14 PM

stopping you would have involved crossing the vegetated median and weaving through traffic at speeds of above 100 kilometres an hour with possible constant honking of horn...........i think u would have just sped up if come maniac did that to you;)


Shrek - May 18th, 2004 at 01:32 PM

Okay, I see your point there!! :D


sgetty - May 19th, 2004 at 10:17 PM

hey shrek
i found a brochure on ebay that shows that they where factory options but it doesnt have the windows check it out

http://cgi.ebay.com.au/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=32080&item=...

cheers deon


Shrek - May 19th, 2004 at 10:36 PM

That's intruiging.

I've got the original manual which is for the pop top 'Adventurer' and the fixed top 'Wanderer' - the latter being my model with windows.

I've google searched to my hearts content and not found anything else about the original model.

Maybe I should by the dealer brochure on ebay .... hmmmmmm...........


sgetty - May 20th, 2004 at 12:30 PM

yeah and stick it inside the kombi so u can show everyone whereever u go, or laminate it like a menu.
deon


Shrek - May 20th, 2004 at 02:14 PM

Got my bid in now, see how it goes. Not going to pay through the nose for it, but it's a nice bit of memorabilia to have, hey!

Cheers for the heads up, Deon.

That's my collection started then.

Got the VW vehicle a month ago, now I've started the 'all things VW' collection. That's it, I'm on the slippery slope :D


splittychick - May 24th, 2004 at 05:42 PM

Yep you're hooked for sure.You'll find kombi things will jump out at you everywhere you go now & you'll just "have to have them".Also you'll drive all your friends so crazy with you're obsession that they'll find themselves buying you kombi things that they come across as well!!!!!
WELCOME TO THE CLUB!!!! :D:D:D

Shrek - May 25th, 2004 at 10:13 AM

Excellent, I'm looking forward to really pissing people off with my new obsession. In fact my girlfriends already either gonna have to convert from Catholicism to VeeDubber or else she's gonna leave me.

Luckily she thinks Kombi's have credibility, so I think I'm safe!!

Let's just see what happens when all my spare time is spent on the bus ;)


sgetty - May 25th, 2004 at 07:45 PM

haha ive converted mine, she now is going to do all the interior work on the splitty, witch is good cause shes great with material. work on it 2gether and u will have no arguments;)
