my new kombi
soulsurfer - June 21st, 2004 at 08:49 PM

well i have taken the plunge and stopped looking and finally bought a 70 deluxe 9 seater!! it needs alot of work on the body...and will probably cost alot of money...so while i was driving her from sydney to kingscliff, mostly with the music down so i could listen to engine, she purred the entire way(1600 twin port rebuilt by wolfsburg...good job guys!)...i decided to name her Ivanah after Donald Trump's exwife, as i reckon she will be high maintnance, and will have some serious plastic surgery before she is looking fine!!!! But i love her. I didnt see many fellow veedubbers on the road this weekend but a few gave me a wave, and man did that feel good!!! Havent had a vw in years, forgot how stressfull people get on the highway when youre slowly climbing hills!!
I have tried to post pics but they are all too big i will have to try and take some more and compress them to get them smaller i guess. just the best weekend i have had in ages driving up the coast!!!:beer:beer:beer

Welcome to the fold Matt and sounds like you got yourself a real purrer! I find driving flat out at 55mph much less stressful as you dont have to worry too much about overtaking! Gives you more time to take in the scenery and enjoy your trip!

Good luck with ol Ivanka

Cheers

Steve

Man loving that front middle seat. If you ever get rid of the seat for some insane reason I would love to be first in line. Great buy
