We're the only ones who don't appreciate Fleetlines. :jerkoff: The poms have already nabbed LOTS of them, and we lost another one to Australia last week.

I also heard about a New Zealander who is in SA now and has bought 38 :shock: buses to ship back home.

Meanwhile, it seems that you can't sell a bus on this site, even at a bargain price ...

I don't see you with 20 Fastbacks in your yard, Blitz'.

How many have you passed over?

Quite a few by this forum's account.

Generalization is a real B*tch.

If some of us had the space, forex power and resources to rescue 38 buses, we would.

Passed a few over, saved a few from the crusher, saving another 2 soon, trying to get some storage space for something that has moerse blindspots ( :wink: ), so yes I have done my fair share of rescuing. :twisted:

I'm not talking about you, fig, or any other legitimate Bus owners - referring to those people who continually whine about looking for a cheap Bus but won't take the initiative....

Anyway, before this goes pear shaped :lol:

been saying this for a while. the fleetline is a unique part of vw history and others fancy a bit of that. the local scene has always looked down upon them, hence many struggling to sell good ones for 20k.

at least i have my single cab fleetline sorted :0)
