How Fasty........well not very just yet!!! :Lowered:
Hi All,
Well I've been having some login issues, so after a change of username I'm back (so pettles is dead!!!).
Copied from old post (please ignor the old post).
Well it's official. I'm a VW owner for the very first time!!!!! The car was picked up yesterday. 68 fastback. 2 owner. The person
who I purchased if from bought it from the original owner and didn't drive it (been in his shed for 6 years). The paper work is all there. It's off
to the mechanics for a couple of weeks for engine work + lowering + wheels + new exhaust + rego
Here’s a few sneakies!!!! (it's on the trailer in the garage so the photos are a little limited!!!).

Sweet ride. Keep it nice and simple.
I'm amazed no one has asked to buy the drivers side rain deflector off you.

Empi roof rack is definatly on the list.........wheels first though!!!
Well the car is has returned from the mechanics with 2 thumbs up. Brakes were the only problem. Engine was spot on (for now)! Bit of a reshuffle
(moved fuel filter and a few other things!). Extractors were removed (also for now!) and a NOS exhaust was fitted for the short term. Front seat has
been re-sprung.............A heap of little things were all sorted, cleaned, checked, replaced etc.
Coming back with me next week so it'll be really tested. 1000km from Albury to Adelaide. Will photograph the trip.
So I'm carless until wednesday, and as a result a new bike was in order (I've know of this for a while but sorted it out the other day). 69 Malvern
Star GT Skidstar.........it's gold!!!!!! Handle bars are about 2 feet wide!

"and on the road trip from Beechworth to Adelaide...."
You just gave me a flashback there. I learnt to drive in a fastback where you were in that photo. It was Rushworth, not Beechworth.
Thanks for the memory there.

Hi James, yeah you're spot on, the photo is in rushworth. My Grandparents lived there for 20 years (or something like that anyway) and now in
bendigo. I have a few people to visit on route from Beechworth to Adelaide and this was the first stop
