Bug_Crazed Grl - July 29th, 2003 at 10:28 AM

Hello !
On my way home last night i saw a very very cool bug driving up Erskinville Road then saw it again parked outside the Rose of Australia Hotel in Erskineville - looked white with a burgundy racing stripe, roof racks and back wheels covered and possibly red/burgundy interior ! It looked very sweet !

Anybody know if it lives in the area?

Cheers :)

hey bug crazed girl,

Yeah , the erko bug is mine. you will find it parked outside the Rose of Australia alot, my best mate owens the pub :D

thanks for your comments, i think the old girl is a bit ruff ... but she it very solid / no rust what so ever ! ... and is still running the original motor.... not bad for a daily driver that was built in 57.

the names , Finn .... next time you see me , come up and say HI !

OMG !!!! YAY at last !!! I was getting scared you'd think I was stalking you ! I saw your bug parked outside The Rose again last Thursday and I also saw you last night on King Street ! I absolutely melt everytime I see your bug !!!! It is sooooo cool ! Excellent ! I will build up enough courage and come and say hi next time for sure !!

hey bug crazed girl...

flog the laser quick... every day you wait it depriciates yet those fun loving body melting heart stopping vw's are appreciating. and being in sydney the sooner you have your baby the better the drive in peak hour.

i noticed how much nicer everybody was when i was driving around in the bus. they would happily let you change lanes, wave to you and even chat at lights. amazing who you would meet on the daily grind to work.

am i stirring the pot?

I agree with 2 Guns heaps of people are heaps nice with my Shazza.

U have to get a VW soon cos their prices are going up quickly:kiss


Bug_Crazed Grl - August 13th, 2003 at 03:35 PM

You don't need to stir the pot twoguns it's simmering and about to over flow already !!!! I have my task list already written down..thing is i am going O/S in a couple of months so i'm planning on selling the laser before i leave then come back, get a loan and buy a cool late 50's early 60's bug !!


twoguns - August 13th, 2003 at 03:44 PM

good stuff... while os you could grab a few tricky bits. come back get sorted and well see another neat bug on the road.:thumb

enjoy your trip.:D

Where abouts are u going OS u may be able to find some nice rare parts and put them on ur bug like 2 Guns said so check that list :)

I'd go for some Eyelids, Hubcaps, whitewalls, and some other rare goodies :)


Bug_Crazed Grl - August 13th, 2003 at 07:04 PM
