How about 10 am this sunday the 20th
we could meet on the top floor of pacific fair car park out front of the cinemas in a clear space. Thats fairly central and easy to find.
All those keen say EYE
we could go for a drive or lunch etc maybe out to spring brook or numinbah valley or something else.
Cheers Tony

I will pencil it in at this stage, but the Kombi wont be able to get to the top level of the car park! I could park at the bottom some where and get a
lift to the top.

Depending on how people feel, I thought a drive out to numinbah valley to the Cafe out there, nice drive and and a good place to chat when we stop.
nice and relaxed.
I set my phone to remind me.

Herbies big day out.
Yes, It was a fun day,
A nice, relaxing day out, meeting new friends, also afflictied with this crazy VW dementia we all have.
This is the only photo I have managed to rip off my camera before I screwed the softare up into a knot.
It seems very low res, so I must have stuffed it up taking it off the Cam but the photos should all be good.
we can do a similar sort of thing in a few weeks when your bug is going better.
Cheers Tony
PS I will sort out these pics in the next few days I hope.

Hi Herbie
when we got home my daughter couldn't wait to tell mom she saw Herbie!
It was amazing to see the look on the faces of 30-40 year old kids when they saw something from their childhood passing by, you shore made a lot of
them smile! including me!

Yeah its a lot of fun, and its great to see the smiles on peoples faces, I think too many people get wrapped up in being an adult and forget how much
fun it was to be a kid and that short glimpse of something from their childhood gives them a quick rush and the smile shows it.
I am happy to take someone with me, but I have no back seatbelts so its one at a time.
But dont have a problem if anyone wants to take the spare seat.
This reminds me.... Am I supposed to have back seatbelts? I never got any with the car and didnt see anywhere where they would go.

If it didnt have belts when it was first registered Im pretty shure it dosent need them (NSW) My old EH holden never had them and it had to go over
the pits after I finished restoring it and at the time they passed it with no rear belts.
Im not sure about QLD reg's

Hi guys
:sandrine
Mine has got no seatbelts at all (f or B)
last model to not come out with any.
I was rego'd in Qld & didn't have to put any in if it did'nt come out with any.
My insurers were cool with it as they labeled it a "classic" vehicle, over 30 yrs old & cheap insurance.
In December rego'd in N.S.W. & still didn't have no problem with no seatbelts.
But the new insurance company & had to really pay high insurance.

Its funny that I ride a big bike capable of doing 290 klm/hour with no seatbelts,
But I feel somehow like its sooooo dangerous to have people without seatbelts in the back.
I guess I just feel responsible for the passengers safety.
I guess it just depends on the passengers.
I might just put some lap sashes in to ease my concience.
