your vw, when u pass away?
on looking at the number of *ahem* enthusiasts in here, and the amount of pride and effort put into these cars (yes I know ratdriver speaking,,, but
one day I will have enough $), I cant help but wonder what are your plans for the future of your children (cars that is)?
so many 'resto's' are sold on in good faith, yet these cars often end up neglected or on sold to yards as trade in's etc when the owner surrenders
to their 'new n' shiny' urges. It is sad when one can see a car which was once loved, sitting all alone in a wreckers yard in amongst the crappy
corollas and sigmas. All tatty and neglected, the once lusterous shine faded away.
how are you planning on preventing this from happening? have you made provision in ur will for storage rental for the next milenium? are you planning
on buying up some land so you can have a big pit to be dug? are you planning on coming back to haunt your car?lol. Or do you have a trust fund whereby
ur estate has a clause attached: be nice to my cars or u will get nuffin (I know they can do it for beloved pets... why not a car)....
not being morbid here, just thought it an interesting bit o' chit chat :thumb |

My son is not interested in any way shape or form in VW's. Daughter wasn't but having come on some cruises and met VW people is starting to like
them, to the point that if she could get a cheap auto beetle she would have one. So the answer is, if she gets her manual licence (before I cark it),
I will probably leave it to her - complete with instructions in what to do if she no longer wants it. That I will have to think about.
She has helped in some of the work on the car and knows what it means to us, so hopefully it will go to a loving home.
If you can't laugh at yourself you can't laugh at anyone else! Because life is to short not to LAUGH

We have bought the 2 bugs for the daughters to have as first cars - daughter #1 will be driving next year and buy the 69 bug off us as her first car.
She is ultra keen on them and already enjoyed her first VW day rally.
Daughter #2 will be driving in about 3 years so I have that time to then get the '60 a new engine and clean it up ready for her to buy off us.
By then....I will have successfully passed the VW attitude to my kids - 'the circle of life'. Then......I might have found my splitty or
Thing....sigh....

Don't really care who gets them just as long as they don't go to a scrap yard.
all other investments go to the daughter.
The cars arn't worth taking back to the States thats why i say first in gets them.

done in her name lol.

u'd need the no gaps first, then propellor, (as was suggested to a certain tasweigen dubber in valla post). Then set sail..yipeeeeee. As for the
carcass.. u got a buggy airfooled? that would b more effective. Eeeew frenzix, you know wen u accidentally burn human hair, just 1 is pretty
pungent!lol.
I think I would go the conservative, next of kin option, Or if no takers like >nb:edit;vw0064 (oops, lol), i'd give them away to a struggling
young up n coming dubber!

It is said the good die young, so I guess I'm immortal anyway.
The boys have got dibs on my bike, I think the kombi will be gracefully retired.
Well my friends are gone & my hair is grey, I ache in the places where I used to play.

well....my daughter is only 4 , as for my wife, she doesn't share my passion.....so i'd say at this stage unsure of what could happen if anything
happens.....i will probably leave it for my wife to keep untill my daughter is old enough to drive the oval and decide what to do...by then the car
will be...mmm....60 ...61 year old, so that should fund her a new car by then if she doesn't want to keep it....
