Hi,

I am from South Africa, but moved over to this kukie little island 12 years ago. I currently work in London but am doing a round the world trip next year. (cant frikken wait)

I have a 1970 Aussie import bay over here because all the english vans are rusted.

dont get back to SA as much as I would like to but try make it at least once a year

cheers dudes

Actually started a blog, which is oh so web 2.0.

Was going to get it out this morning, but after running and starting perfectly last night, today i was met with zero electrics on the car. Tried to jump start it with another car and nada...
Oh well

you prob left something on.
A battery that is too dead wont jump. You need to charge it for a while or hook it to the other car for 10 minutes or so.

Hey there.

Names Gee. Grew up with VWs. Had three beetles of my own.

I recently bought a 1960 VW 23 window Samba and I'm looking for soeone who restores them. I'm working in the UAE and cant do it myself.

Love the site. Nice to meet fellow Volksie fans.

All the best.

Yo Tony Z.

Definately gonna be chatting to you.

Love the beetle. Had one with a similar colour but nowhere as nice.

Need lots of advice in the engine department.

Hoping for the pork myself. Enjoy da christmas as well.

Cheers
