.
The panel shop is where i worked for 5 years, they still do a lot of vws there, the owner of the black manx is the ex mechanic from mick motors, they
still repair vws there as well, the owner of the electrical place has a couple vws, he loves them and the owner of 4wd city just collects cars for
free or cheap and resells them or tries to because he wants a fair bit of money for them
