Re: New Members - Introduce yourself..
Hi all,
I am a newby, I used to have a '74 beetle completly restored with some nice extras, but had to sell due to difficulties.
I decided to join, as I am in th process of building or buying a Pipecar. My dad used to take me to the dunes in arniston, AWESOME fun!! I have been searching the net for the last 5 months for plans and ideas, and I met a guy in a forum (http://www.airriders.ca )from USA, he was kind enough to help me.
I now have plans, with measurements etc. But this is not going to be easy. I am going to need parts and LOTS advice.
Therefore I am here, I hope to make some friends soon.
Very nice forum, just a pity there is no "for sale" section.
cheers

Re: New Members - Introduce yourself..
Hi - I'm PackDonk. As the name implies, I have many burdens in life. Most of them are self-imposed, but a few are beyond my control - such as the weight of the atmosphere, or the fact that my camper was stolen............
I am no longer in possession of an ACVW - but want to be. I've owned a few - my favourite was a '61 (I think) 1100 Beetle (6V) which I'm sure weighed more than my '74 1600 - I know because I had to push it often!!!
I harken back to my earlier experiences with a (shock horror) water-cooled Kombi camper; I want another one!! But this time a gen-u-wine ACVW pop-top.
Anyone?
Happy 'Dubbing everyone.
PD
