Hi

I bought a Westie a couple of years ago and the family fell instantly in love with it, especially my wife. Unfortunately my wife's daily driver broke down and we had to replace the diesel injectors. As some of you might know it is a very expensive excercies on a VW Touran. My only means to get instant cash was to sell my Westie. Richard (Madbones) bought it the same day that I advertised it on Aircooled VW. Needless to say my wife was in tears and it was as if a member of the family died. I asked Richard that should he ever decide to sell the bus, he should please give me the first oportunity to buy it back from him.

Fast forward to Feb 2015. I received a PM from Richard telling me that his Westie has returned from Zambia and that he wants to sell mine as he doesn't have the need for two busses and he wants to keep his own bus. True to his word, he gave me first option to buy my Westie back from him. I begged and borrowed (not steal) money to pay for my Westie and we collected him this past weekend from Richard.

We are so happy and overjoyed that our bus has come home again.

Thank you very much Richard, I cannot put in words how much this means to us but I think you have an idea :wink:

The Coetzees,
To see the look on Mev. Coetzees face when she was re-united was enough thanks, but the pleasure was all mine. It sounds crazy but we get connected to these damn volksies and we all have our stories to tell and it's just great to be a part of it. Ben was part of the Coetzee family and I wish you many happy, safe and enjoyable years and miles ahead, Ben is back where
he belongs. Now I just have to keep Naked Fury together :shock: for the KKK see you all there :drunks:
Ciao
