OMG
HI Guys have my third red 65 beetle arriving tomorrow was talking to the guy i brought it off and we got on the subject of kombis
i was telling him of the family argument over the 71 low light we have that i want to keep it green as it is any army micro bus but the family want to
change the colour so i came up with the idea to get another one (lol) and was talking to him about this he asked what i was after i said LOVE a
splitty but the budget and finding one in tassie as the cost getting over here well isn't cheap so bay would be
ok he agreed to keep hes eyes open for me well he rang to day to say he has a 1959 P.M.G van for sale in my price range it needs full restore will see
photos tomorrow no sleeping for me tonight then i have a space issue as this would make 5 beetle's 2 kombi's a caravelle 2 minis and a 69 pan

Hope you've got a big enough property! Sounds like you've got the bus bug bad.

Yep, you're addicted. I'm the total opposite- but I understand addictions.
Once for me it was Lotus powered cars. Cut my losses after 4 years and never looked back. Thats was 30 years ago.
Now its the trike and its mini caravan.
My neighbour who is 63, has amassed 12 American cars- Chryslers and Plymouths. He has started offloading them but every night seeks more out on ebay
or in the states....cant help himself - he is a lost cause.
But the worst case was 1981 in StAlbans Melb. A friend had the Vauxhall bug. from early 1930's vagabond convertible rusted bodies to 1960's Crestas.
40 in all. He rented a house with loft roof and I assisted him to use the hoist on the gable to store doors, bonnets and the like.
He fell behind in rent and the owner wanted to demolish to build units. In the end my then ex friend pleaded with the owner before a bulldozer
levelled the land, parts and all. make a Vauxhall enthusiast cry if they saw it.
From then on I had my own persepctive as to my addictions. An example of this is a type 3 auto trans. If I had to buy a whole car for the trans the
body would be on my property for a max of a fortnight then sold. So now I'm a little paranoid as to having any old bodies around.
