I couldnt be unhappy with it. Ill take some pics tomorrow. and put them in the member section ;0

Hi Sky
:sandrine
Hi Sky, I think we all know how you feel at this moment, when we all bought our first VW.
I myself bought a 61 & yes it was a great feeling.
Hope you get many years of happy V-dubbin'.
If your ever down Byron Bay way....give me a call.
Hope to catch up with you on a cruise one day.
Are you going to Action Day at Carina on Sunday...loads of VW's to see there.

Yea no plates as yet, Thats the busines for today
Service was done yesterday, rather good nick. only needs a little work
New or Adjustment to the steering box and wheel alignments, or new wheels as well.
Im still getting under $3000 for a pearla
on another note. I nearly crashed grimace yesterday, I was moving her in after the service, this was my first time ever driving (probably shouldnt
have tried this) and I kangarood, but the engine didnt cease, I nearly hit the fence you see on the right side of it, the only thing stopping me was
the greenery. no damage to anything, and next time it will be in a more open area :d
