Re: New Members - Introduce yourself..
Hi guys!
Amped to join this great forum and hopefully learn a few things about the world of aircooled VWs.
I live in Somerset West and I'm not a VW owner myself.... yet, but i'm looking for a Karmann Ghia so i can finally join the club.
Hopefully i don't have to wait too long

Hi all, Im Mandi living in Cape Town, South Africa and I am new to the group. I own a 1974 Beetle since October last year. She still does not have a name and has been through a lot. I am planning to give her new life inside and out, hope you can help guide me to the right place. I am still trying to navigate this site but it shouldnt take me long to get it. Im glad to have found this group and if you can I click on my name (I think you can), you should find a link to a question i posted on the discussion link.
