So to follow on the "Where's..." thread, what's everybody up to? still an Airhead?, moved to watercooleds?, given up cars?, playing with bikes?, looking at boobs??

I still have my 74 beetle, nothing really greatly improved, just keeping it rolling and alive, hardly drive it,
also gotten married, Bought a 71 lowlight westy, still working in PTA, living in Benoni.

also still have the love for aircooleds, have also noticed a major shift in the scene from forums to facebook. not quite the same.

:drunks: :puterwork:

Sold all my aircooleds, last one was in October 2013, which I sold for wedding funds. Sold my Porsche parts and wheel hoard, and most of stash as well...

Still have mad love for aircooleds and need to get me something again.

Got married.

Moved to the Cape from GP.

Currently have a Golf Mk2 that I am busy with.....and am trying to convince a guy in my hood to sell me his LHD Beetle but no luck so far :(

Also have noticed that FB is a lot more active when it comes to groups, but still log on everyday here to see whats up

I look at boobs everyday!!! :lol:

Still have my 1303, under a tree at my office :shock:
Bought a house, got most of the interior sorted, no kids, but got 2 puppies that's making my hair turn grey!
I'll be moving the 1303 to my house in July hopefully, then maybe I can start working on it again.

Oh and about a week ago some C**t skipped a robot and drove into my Golf so now I'm still waiting to hear if it's getting fixed or written off..

Been on the forum a few years. Upgraded from one beetle to 2 and a lolette spyder. Having second thoughts about the spyder but im in no hurry.

Made a few friends on the forum and enjoy the vw talk and advice.

I lurk here daily, still have my Fleety, and its still running....beautifully. Bought a house, bought an autovilla and then got married.

Currently just trying to stay alive in sunny SA, but tough times are afoot.

Working. Pretty much back for a few weeks then off to siberia again for a few weeks followed by Bulgaria and then Botswana.

After that I should have time for my bug and racing again.
