  1. Vw`s get under your skin

    Well I’ve always been into old cars mostly Jaguars/Daimlers

    I’ve had xj6`s and a 1966 Daimler V8 for 23 years

    But after a weekend at the F1 Gp in 2000 the one with all the rain and mud

    In a tent . I decided to get a camper any 60`s/70`s camper . I had never had any

    Interest in VW`s but the first camper I looked at was a 78 bay went for a test drive

    And fell in love .

    I gave it a quick paint job as orange is not my thing

    3 or 4 years later the rust was winning so I started a restoration

    I was so pleased in the end result .

    But here’s the sad part due to work my weekends away watching motor racing

    Had to stop and the camper was sold L to fund some work on my Daimler.

    But I cannot get air-cooled out of my mind I’m spending more time on Vw sites

    Now than when I had one. E bay for sale adds the lot

    So I’m back looking for a basket case tintop or a pickup T2 to save

    The quest starts again

  5. i was buying volksworld at least 10 years before i owned my first vw. As a student my room was decorated in pics of beetles (and tank girl, obvs) and the free stickers that came with the mag.


    i always thought once i got one i'd get it out of my system and have a 'normal' car when i grew up.... it's been a long time coming and instead of a normal car i just added a camper :D
