spotted in Newtown:

Turns out I probably can't make it after all

Cool. I was thinking as well that Rockdale has some very tasty burek shops...not sure if they'd be open yet at that time on a Sunday...?

Me too, I think.

What's the deal, exactly? Just show up & bring some food or something?

They'd luft my protest too, if only I was in Clover Moore's electorate:

"OUTRAGE! Clover wastes money on bicycle pumps, when honest ratepayers can't even store a dozen rusting cars in front of all the neighbours' houses!"

I think the council would tow them away if I tried that...

Vent wing pivot clamp x 2. I can find them in the US for $6 apiece but it seems silly to go through international ordering & postage when every single beetle had one in each door so there should be heaps around... But other than that, it's just handy to be able to pick things up from wreckers fr...

Stupid question, but what wreckers do people go to these days in Sydney? I just rang Beetle Wreckers in Brookvale, who I used to get parts from all the time, and they said they only do post-2000 cars now & haven't had an old beetle in for 83 months & counting. Vintage Vee-Dub in Campsie didn...

It's hard to explain how to do it without this message board thinking I'm telling *it* what to do so here's how it would look with e x t r a s p a c e s put in to confuse it.

Here is a link to [ u ][ u r l = h t t p : / / w w w . t h e a g e . c o m . a u ]The Age[ / u r l ][ / u ] as an example.

It's painful. I manually put an underline under the hyperlink with the u button, then if you hover over the URL button you can see instructions on two ways of inserting hyperlinks. The button itself doesn't do a whole lot.

I was there (on foot) last year. Can't remember much of the VW contingent other than a beetle covered in stickers with a big skateboard attached to a rack on the rear decklid. Might have been yellow...? Would that be anybody on here? *edit* haha, my memory is stuffed. This would be the car in questi...

Ah, I didn't know; still new here.

Still, that's an extra plug for the sponsors *bookmarked*.

Just in case anybody was interested. I hope there's no rule against posting commercial type stuff like this here.

I've put up some photos here.

That sums it up perfectly. I must've visited hundreds of times, and most times they'd done f@#k all since the last visit. If they had done anything, they'd done it wrong, like putting on the bumpers minus the bracket seals. I've now gotta pop the back window out as well, just to get the headliner ba...

Thread vs comment vs post...these terms are used differently on different forums, so I'm not gonna get too hung up on that ;P Short story for the delay is a bunch of absolute fuckwits at the local paint & body shop. How on earth it takes 3 years & 10 months to put a beetle back together afte...

Build thread...good idea. Where should that go? Here in Northern Alliance?

I'm back again, after a 50 month hiatus since my first & only post here (don't ask).

Back on the road & registered now & looking forward to some events

rust repair under way. also going for a full respray. the original job was a backyard enamel spray - very pretty at the time, but it hasn't lasted too well, and the enamel basically can't be sprayed over without looking like shit. colour matching the faded blau would be difficult, too. still, seven ...
