Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.

Re: New Members - Introduce yourself..
Definately better than the Harley - so not a full blown wobble - bus still sitting in shed on farm - trying to sort out the tin for the new flattie - should be down at Grand slam when we have sorted out the bits and pieces - wife is going to kill me , but stil will have the bus
If your not going all the way - don't go at all !

Re: New Members - Introduce yourself..
Hi, I do not know if this is the correct place to introduce myself. I am Timone, wife of Bushpig. I had an Beetle when I was 17 and onwards, and due to a fire, change to a non VW car. I miss my beetle to this day, but with Bushpig, we got Beetles glore. I always had a soft spot for Beetles, I think once you driven one and hear that unique engine sound you will be hooked for life. Well I just got my first Kombi Camper 1972 "Dutchman" from Dappermuis, and she is a beauty. I would like her go become a proper camper again, will take time, because I must learn about the Kombi's. I will list her as a project with photo's, but will change her name from Dutchman to Dutchess.

Re: New Members - Introduce yourself..
Hi Newbies and welcome!
Also a special welcome to Timone!!!! Unbelievable how you and your husband share the passion for bringing all things back to the way it should be and originated! Authentic and original -- the way nature intended it to be.
Keep up the great "work"!
Respect!
Louis
