Take a tip from my experience from yesterday and get hold of some spare fuel pump membranes if you plan on driving any distance. (Or you can leave them at home like I did!)

[quote=JD] Really? Is it bad?[/quote] Well it will be diluted and maybe not protect your engine so well.

good luck with your new car. I've took a closer look at it in HO and the car looks amazing. I love the color

[quote=356boy]found the perfect accessory for my ski rack [IMG]https://i58.photobucket.com/albums/g251/prea356/lllllll.jpg[/IMG] [/quote] I saw your split at HO also, very nice. I also have a Bordeaux Red '50 sunroof, although my roof is black. [img]https://images.thesamba.com/vw/gallery/pix/467706.jpg[/img] AND... I just bought a ski rack for it, and found a pair of old wooden skis that I gave a quick restore to. My car will be in a show at a ski resort in Vermont in 2 weeks (I sure hope I get my ski rack in time!!!). Do you have bigger pictures of your ski rack????

[quote=JD] Saw - of all the wierd things - an SS fez in a museum in France! Wonder if there´s a sombrero too?[/quote] The Fez was worn by muslim volunteers of croatia, Bosnian and Herzegovina. The Fez was in different colours - green, red, with or without the tail. SS-mountain division "Handschar", consisted of Balkan folksdojcers and Muslims of Bosnia and Herzegovina. They wore the edelweiss on the left of the Fez, as the regular mountain divisions. There was also British volunteers in the 11.SS-Freiwilligen-Panzergrenadier-Division Nordland. :shock: Also six Flemish volunteer divisions
