Aircooled to Treecooled

Post by january »

Guys

Can any forum member who has the idea
tell me why does all the aircooled get dumped
either next to or under the trees?
As I always have my camera with me found
that some bugs dont want to be exposed to the
media or people who would look after them.

I know of this light Blue Beetle that is camera shy,
Or was it that I was scared of taking a picture of it.
The truth is it has been standing there for more than
two years the least I could remember.
I couldn't get a closer shot of it with my cam...as
the neighbours thought I was aiming at them smoking :kots: who knows what?

I love these cars I'll get them out of the misery of being neglected.
They all deserves a second chance too!!!

I have noticed the same, but strangely the owners always say that they will get to restoring them one day. It just seems that that day never comes. I am always willing to go chat to the owners and maybe collect the poor beetles standing under the trees, if anyone knows of any, I would gladly go there and see if we have a chance.

I must agree January..that's a beautiful tree. From it's size, you can tell it's been standing there for a long time.
Let people call you a tree hugger all they want! I think they deserve our respect!

Guys

This one I'm trying to put pressure on the guys to find the owner
as he just dumped it at them and never called them. He somewhere in Lawley.
It has three years experience of dust, rain,floods any kind of weather you can
think of but it's not bad at all.
Its like when you are aircooled you deserve to be :hanged:
Everything is there except the engine.
The ceiling tells the story (still in factory tact).
"Sorry for the poor picture quality from cellcamera".
Another Lonely Blue :( :cry: :cry:

Z A Like I said we're trying to find the owner so that if He's selling it
should be a fair and legal deal that has all the necessary documents of the car.
I dont want to bring people to be duped of car deals that dont have necessary
documentations of something that you or we buy.
