h - February 24th, 2005 at 01:28 PM

hi all, here are some of the treasures i have been fortunate to drive over the years..

here is a '75 microbus i had around 1999 - 2000, it had a 2l and a factory slider sunroof it was a cool bus!
funny thing is i brought this gem at an auction and couldn't beleive my luck! :thumb
it was all sad looking so i took it home..
fixed it up and it purred like a puddy tat

this pic was taken a few years back at the beginning of dubs by the pub run when it first met at the ent. center.. any ideas on what year that was?
my twinny in front, kombi bob in the center and wills bus at da end..
it was a good cruise that one.. :tu:

here is my first camper n first bay..
its a '75 that i spent a bit of time making sweet to keep, had this for about 3 years..

I reckon straddie has the best beach in the world. there's just nobody there it is so peaceful!

nice buses paul, shame you don't have any of them now. is that the same dog? :thumb


h - June 22nd, 2005 at 10:59 AM

cheers lams
hopefully soon i will have another bay to play with, until then another VW is definately on the cards.. just have keep looking..
btw it is the same rotti, thats banana.. bit of a poser isn't he
he prefers the kombis for a ride as the oval is a wee bit squishy.. lol


Fossil - June 22nd, 2005 at 12:15 PM

Nice Bay's you've owned ;)


h - July 23rd, 2012 at 09:47 PM

hmmm... I just checked out some of my old busses on this thread
n now that I'm nobus (apart from T5 daily) I may have to fill the hole in the shed that my recently sold bay panel has left behind..
It's funny that my 54 and beach buggy just don't give me the vibe cruising about in a T2 does
guess I'll just have to start saving pennies n get anothery in the future ;)

''It's funny that my 54 and beach buggy just don't give me the vibe cruising about in a T2 does'' ????
Paul thats because a beach buggy is supposed to be driven on the beach ! You live on the door step of Noosa north shore. What is going on mate, get into it before the day comes when we may not be able go for run up DI.


h - July 24th, 2012 at 01:48 PM
