Silly loads
Ok, somewhere on this forum there was a post about ridiculous loads carried in VWs. I think The_Bronze may have started it. I've just wallowed
through 44 PAGES of General Chat looking for it, but must have overlooked it. Can't find it anywhere. 
With the kombi being off the road at the moment, and the weather getting colder, I had to find a new method of transporting firewood home..... I now
have what basically equates to a petrol-powered wheelbarrow!

What with the bushfires & the photos of how much firewood you fit in the Kombi & now this ! just how far do you have to drive to find a
tree:o:o? I will put this photo on again Cause at 3 years old I regarded it as ridiculous - for 3 days away
- Mum Dad, twins a few months old, my red pedal car (essential) thing behind it is pink potty chair - god only knows what else was in there - but you
couldn't move,
I suppose my most riduculous load from a lateral thinking piont of view was in 1977 towing a car trailer with a dead Mini Cooper S for a friend to
restore , out to his farm at Molong - somewhere west of Orange I passed a guy going east towards Sydney towing toeing a trailer with a dead Mini
Cooper S . The look we gave each other in that split second of passing could never be put into words

Hey Col,
I think you either need to get a jumper or move to Queensland to save all the fire wood collecting!!!
I remember at the Easter motor cycle raceing at Bathurst one year seen a number of large logs beeing dragged up the hill behind a bike for fire wood!!

Look at all the steel in that photo!
Steel car, steel toy, even a steel thermos.
I had one of those pedal cars, don't know that they came in any colour but red.
This is how us "OLD" blokes amused ourselves before nintendo.........
As for silly loads, 5 kids is as silly as I ever want to get..........
Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.

The Loaded Dog.
I tried to have a look for that post Col but can't find it either. Not sure if I'm the one that started it though. Yes I will look back on
these with fond memories for sure.
With three perished tranny rubbers it was an interesting ride for 4 hours, max speed was 80k's and the hills were 2nd gear.

Yep - House moving has never been so much fun. I have some other pics to add soon. They are in the conventional camera so I have to develop them and
scan them. Passneger seat on the roof rack and 400kg's of timber to become a double bed stacked from the passenger foot well to the back windows.
Newcastle to Dubbo and it never even hit 90 degrees. Took some of the bounce out though.

Here is a one you won't believe.......
Talking about people and VW's and moving big/different loads........have a read of this,
Around 1994/5 a guy in brisbane got himself a 23 window delux splittie restored by Volksrestore in Brisbane. The owner of the splittie had a daughter
who was into horses. The time cam for the horse to be moved from one side of town to the other..........so our friend removed the seats from the
splittie, opened the sun roof and had the horse stand in the Vehicle with the reins put through the passanger and drivers windows.......apparently the
horse had no problems with the ride, had a slick hair do afterwards and was seen by one and all in the CBD of brissie..............
I have it on good advice that the above is true.........would have loved a camera to catch the moment!
Cheers
