Hey guys i've just registered as a new member and thought i'de say hi as i have just become the owner of a bug so yeh.

My name is Luke and you got a pretty good little forum here !

welcome to AussieVeeDubbers Luke!!!
We all think this is an awesome site too....

Do you have a pic of your ride??
:beer

Thanks alot , yeh i have got 1 but just aint 100% on how to make it my avatar yet as ive got it saved in my documents........

hehe, i've never been bothered with an avatar. i should probably put one up one of these days
but try this thread
http://www.aussieveedubbers.com/forum/viewthread.php?tid=3217 
hopefully, it should get it working for ya

Cool thanks for that.
Will send ya a pic through via email anyway.......

i've just been reading that link i sent you.
wowsers! theres a lot of instructions there.....

basically, in a nutshell, your pic has to be 100 x 100 and it has to be on a website (ie you can't just plug in your my documents folder location)

SO, what I would suggest is go to http://www.picspot4u.biz/gallery/albums.php 
which is AVD's online gallery. Register for that site and put your pic into the Avatars folder. Grab the link from there and chuck it into the URL link for your Avatar (in your "edit profile" page) and bobs your uncle..... hopefully
Well, thats what I'm going to do anyway.... hehe

Lukes ride

Now thats soundin a little bit easier to me.........
Thanks thats a much better idea..........

yeah well I just had a look at the Gallery site and now I can't work out how to add a pic! LOL
Obviously not much help to you, hehe. Oh well, have a look around, you might work it out

Will do thanks again..............................................

Welcome to the nuthouse Luke. Nice little ride you've got there. What plans have you got for it?

Squiz....

aha! Just the man we need....
Squiz! How do you get avatars working properly?
I think I'm just leading Luke down the garden path, coz it won't work for me

Someone else created my avatar for me. I've only just load stuff on photobucket last night, so will play around tonight - so to speak.

Squiz....

Thanks , Yeh not that many around like that anymore so im more than happy to own it..........

As for the plans its gonna be kept like that for as long as i can possibly look after it.........

Good on you for wanting to keep it that way. Looks like you've got an original window visor on it too. Make sure you hang onto that.

Squiz....

Yeh the only things that are not original on the car now is filters , tyres , wiper blades and engine oil so i do wanna keep it that way.........

Ive built cars before and spent heaps on them but i have no idea about V Dubs at the moment so is there anything really worth knowing about this car or who to insure with seeing a couple of insurance companies are trying to tell me that the most they can insure it for would be 2400 bucks.

Insure through Shannons. Agreed value, you've probably seen the ads. A lot of people here use them and so do I. After shopping around they had good deals and were excellent to deal with on the phone.

Cool thanks for that !
Will give them a call 2morro.

Man I ain't got pic's of my kombi or an avata going yet - one day I have to sit down and work it all out :jesus
