ancientbugger - October 14th, 2004 at 08:44 PM

Hi all,
Yet another newcomer to site, I'm Barry and have been into VWs since '74 when my dad forced a 2yr old beetle onto me since then I've never been without an aircooled VW of some kind-it's a disease I'm sure -with no cure!Anyway it'll be good chatting with you folks and by the way this may be a good time to let you know....I'm another Pom !

Hi Barls,
I've got a Manx buggy that I bought when I first arrived downunder 16 years ago, now on it's 3rd engine-a pretty much standard Type 4 but goes good and a 1979 convertible beetle complete with its original fuel injected motor that feels brand new

Squiz......

welcome aboard :P nice looking cars in your avatar :cool:


ancientbugger - October 15th, 2004 at 04:01 PM

Thanks for the good words on the cars. No I don't have air-con in the cab I just use old technology and put the roof down, The buggy has seen better days but then it has had a bloody hard life since I got it. It's been under water 3 times! It should really have a bit of TLC spent on it but then again it is a buggy.Hey Squiz I'm a cockney bas#@>d from London but you won't hold that against me, just go Millwall!!!

ancientbugger - October 15th, 2004 at 08:15 PM

First Andy, I'm from the Elephant:puke so now you know why I moved to Noosa and Rick since that meeting I've had to do late shifts ever since-I even got to fill out the form to join but that is as far as I ever got!

squizy - October 15th, 2004 at 10:34 PM

Millwall eh Barry? I fear mentioning my team with the current state of drivel that they are displaying. However - seeing that you're a Millwall fan [and trust you haven't burnt down any shops lately], I shouldn't be down on my lads too much.

C'mon you Wolves!

Squiz.....
