I'm not sure if 1200's got the doghouse cooler. Maybe some of the late 1300's did but not sure on the 1200's

Borrowed this photo from The Samba, showing the doghouse shroud features

Yep that's her. Now I've hit the four o myself, I don't like to think about middle age!! :shock: I've seen the schwarz oval a few times on Moggil road and Mt Crosby road but IIRC it was a younger woman driving, possibly mid twenties.

Spotted a Karmann Ghia in Kenmore this morning. Very cool OG paint. Looked like it was Sierra Beige so a 61 / 62

Single cab wanted

Hi guys I'm on the look out for a single cab. Although I'd love a split, I think the finances will limit me to a bay. I'm looking for one that's road worthy as I don't have the time for another project (need to get the others done first!). Though if something's almost ready for a RWC, not worried ab...

Coffee anyone?

A new coffee stall opened up in Southbank, Brisbane a couple of months ago. www.lostbean.com.au Nice coffee with the bonus of it coming out of a 64 double door split 8) I've made it my regular stopping point when doing a `city and back` weekend cycle route http://i1134.photobucket.com/albums/m617/ov...

We've been looking at a few schools so those catchment areas will define where we end up.
When we spent a few days there the other week, was looking around the Kenmore area - Do I need to close my Melburgluft account now? :lol:

Well guys, it looks like we've served our sentence in Mackay and are being allowed back into civilisation. (Some would say Brissy is a half way house to civilisation but I'm not going there :P ) Aiming to move around October. Not sure whereabouts we'll end up yet but busy trying to figure that part ...
