Hey guys!

Anyone know where I can get the old type license plate holders that attach to the top of the over rides in the front?

Hey guys,

Took Herbie for new shocks, and had a look underneath the car for the first time, this is the exhaust system:

What you guys make of it? And is this normal?

It appears as if your engine has run out of oil.

Other than that, it looks fine. Block off the holes in the tinware..

Merlin, what you mean by the engine has run out of oil, what makes you say that, I check the oil every time I use the car? :?

It's filthy under there. ;)

I don't see any oil anywhere there...that tells me you've run out. :D
