One for Rob really.
Any chance Rob you can add a "Post your photos here" as a topic on it's own? I think it would be a good idea as there's some cool photos that people have posted up on all the threads but no where to go to where photos on their own could be posted.
I've got a lot of photos of standard/vintage UK VW's but I only get to post them when replying or starting a new thread.
Reason I was thinking of this was I've just come across couple pics of 42 BXA I took at the Hall some years back and will post in the thread discussing that car but it would be good if I could post some more where it's limited to photos and discussion only.
What do you and others think?

We've got some old photos of our 55 from the 70s and 80s!
Ill try to get them on later!:wink:

Right, as promised....:wink:
This was taken in 1972 at Sandringham. The women is the photo is Mrs Perham!

This was Gertie in 73 on the Motorail in Totnes, Devon! According to a letter from the owner at this time to a a later owner they had been on a holiday in Devon and she never once let them down "Up and down them 'ills":lol: (his words!:wink: )

All of these next photos were taken in France around 1986, shortly before she was resprayed! A few months after she was resprayed she was sold to a guy that put her straight into his barn, where she stayed from 87 to 2008:wink:
At Vanfest last year we were found by the people who owned her from 81 to 87! They then sent us these pictures!:d

Cheers Rob!
I scanned in the 72 one at Sandringham to such a high quality much PC often crashes trying to open it!:lol:
You can see so much detail, especially when you think that it is a tiny 40 year old photo!:wink:
I even zoomed in enough to check that she had the correct Wolfsburg crest!:wink:

Great pictures! It's so nice to have that history with the car, especially as its a UK one.

Yeah! You'd be amazed just how much we got with the car!
ALL that is missing is the bloody original bill of sale!:evil: :roll: :cry:
So frustrating!:wink:
Its also nice that she has never seemingly been just a "car", she has been a member of the family!:d

I quite like the idea. We all like looking at old photos and we'd have somewhere to show of our pride & joy..... (obviously not mine before you all start)

Guys
The aim at the top of this thread was to ask Rob to start a new line in the Forums for photos, not to have them on this one!:lol: Not complaining though, nice pics Rich.
So Rob, how about it?
I'd prefer a photo thread for
Split's
Oval's
58-67 VW's

No problem at all. In fact I was going to ask if you had any pictures of it. I've seen that one before tho' but if you have any more I'd be only too pleased to see them.
As to the original thread. I was thinking maybe a 'Lost & found' section where members could post pictures of cars they're trying to trace. And also a 'Vintage Pics' topic, where all these fantastic old pictures could be posted. Don't know how much room Rob has on the site tho', as in is there enough rom to post all the pictures you have ?
C'mon Rob, you know you want to......

That was a beautiful low mileage '58.
However, you mustn't grumble. You have probably the nicest 11G in the country (in my opinion). I must make a trip up to Malvern soon.
