I'm here (for a few minutes at least) :roll:

I've noticed that it's been quiet in here for the last few days. Everyone must be on holiday Rob........ except for you and me :thumbdn:

---

I guess it is holiday season... :beer:

---

I´m here. Just had nothing useful to add.
Same as usual in fact.

Doesn't usually stop you :rofl:

Just kidding :wink: :beer:

I'm here, cant afford holidays when you run an old car.

I'd post pics of what I've been up to, but I doubt they'd really 'fit in' round here? :rofl:

Thought everyone had gone out and bought a Lupo withe banded wheels and was sat in KC carpark:sleep:

I'm still here, check in most days but tend not to post unless I've got something useful to contribute, which isn't often. :wink:

Went to the Sussex VW Owner's Club Summer Festival last weekend which is always a great little show with some nice cars turning up, both air and water cooled. It's always good to see a number of people from here there too.

I took the '78 Cab and entered it in the show and shine, but sadly it didn't impress the public enough to get an award. 😞

Went to Heretics at VW Heritage on Thurdsay evening too, it was a good evening and relatively well attended despite the threat of rain (which thankfully held off until it was time to go home anyway). Took the Cab again as it was on the drive and I didn't have time to get into a "beetle shuffling" session.

Have just collected four 30BHP cylinder heads from Sprabuild in Brighton where I had left them for reconditioning. They look all lovely and spanky now and I'm looking forward to building up the engine to go in the '57. The crank case has been soda blasted and I'm now in the process of stripping down the crankshaft to check tolerances etc. and then it'll be time to start putting it all back together again.

I shall be on a mission soon to find a replacement lifter channel for the drivers side window on my '57. If anyone has one they want to sell or pass on to agood home please let me know, it's the channel the window glass sits in that I'm looking for. I've tried a reproduction item but it was useless.

im here but have no vw at the moment so am just stalking and being very envious...

---

Loads going on!!! :d

---

Sorry meant KFC!

Just adjusted and greased my link pins, sprayed Techtyl on my Kamax wing bolts and tried my new Volkswagen Classic keys!

So I'm busy:d

D'oh..... I had a set of NOS ones with my car that I didn't fit - gave them to George with the rest of the spares!

---

I wonder if George will want to sell one on? :roll: I'll drop him a pm. :wink:

:lol: I LOVED the tumbleweed, Rob! It got us all laughing for sure!

As you know from my PM, I've been on Holiday with my family! We were buying some plants to spruce up the yard and look what my daughter found behind a shed at the Garden Center!! :thumbup: I'm told that there is another one not far away which is running! Now I have to decide whether to strike or not!

Look what the kid got me into! And she's only two! :idea:

---

I am here, but with a broken powerbook (too busy to deal with it) and half built house, just not so often! :oops:

---

Seems to me that a lot of the older and knowledgeable long-term enthusiasts no longer post, they are either bored, turned off or driven away by comments from other 'enthusiasts'.
