Aircooled VW South Africa

Well that sure beats the whole Harley mid life crisis thing
Cheaper as well I'm sure. Is your bus at Grandslam? Nice find Warwick

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

Welcome welcome welcome one and all

Thank you Stütz...

Bem vindo Jose, we need to hook up next time I'm in Portugal, I have a place in Cascais. Next year July.

Hi there to all the newbies

Hope you enjoy the forum

Hey Guys
Im a newbie on the forum. Excited to be a part of all of this
I am a soon to be owner of a 1971 kombi, and will undoubtedly be posting for parts, or help.
See you all on the forum

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.

Welcome Timone and Sky Modricky, Glad to see you on the forum. It seems to be a Kombi thing lately. Look forward to seeing your projects and pics.

spoken like a real air-cooled nutter Timone

Congrats on your purchase of the the Dutchess, hope you have many happy road trips in her This calls for another visit to the "oval office" Splitz, HR, Louis ??

Welcome Sky, update your avatar/profile so that we who may be able to help you, have an idea of where you are (JHB, Durban, Canada, etc, etc). And post pics of your '71 asap

Welcome both Sky and Timone

It was nice to see you both in the shop, Sky n Saturday and Timone this morning - I am sure you are both going to enjoy your busses - and we will help wherever we can

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!
