It's back! Thanks 'h', its 1 very sweet 54.
Can you tell me what month it is? Is it a deluxe or standard?
Does it have a set of luggage racks behind the back seat?
Thanks

it sometimes makes it to the outings but if i've got goodies to swap at the swap sites i'll take a bus or ute :( to carry all the lovely stuff...
unfortunatly the days of loading the beetle with lots of parts are just about over.. ;)


h - April 3rd, 2005 at 07:02 PM

very noice H!

the flying VW is pretty rare i hear! good find!


65busser - April 3rd, 2005 at 08:34 PM

Yep. Love it.


"Wireless" huh? Is that an indication of the owners vintage?;)


h - April 4th, 2005 at 12:02 AM

hey your only as old as the women you feel.. ;)
of course its a wireless but this one does have a wireless remote wif it..
its just soo far to reach for the buttons in a bug hey..


h - April 10th, 2005 at 05:27 PM

it has the legs out of a T3 1500, 1200 axles n T3 rear brakes..
definately just what the doctor ordered when you've got to travel up or down the coast for a surf...
but then Dr. Porsche probably didn't surf much... :D


h - September 16th, 2005 at 06:09 PM
