Sjoe a sad state indeed and yet she still stands - not as proudly as before but still standing non the less.

You're so lucky.

I've been nagging Kenny Willemse to sell me those buses for +- 2 years now and he consistently told me that they were not for sale, that they belonged to a mate in the UK.

How did you persuade him to sell?

Here's a pic I took when the buses weren't quite so vrot.

@ VW rules.....He told me the same story for months...then i got hold of the owner in the UK and battled for months to get an answer..then he said "yes" and took months to let Kenny know that it was "ok" to let the buses go......so all in all...months of consistent chasing and following up and calls to the UK and stopping at Kenny's every month whilst in EL on business.....
one thing this game has taught me....is BE PATIENT and keep following up !
are there any parts you are looking for ?
