Let's hear your Dub history then.

Wow , Lee Perry liked my post, I got loads of your records mate.

 

Just taking them for my mental elf.

 

Why do you want my dub history then? The past is a foreign country. Surely better to ask for my dub history now.



(You won't get it though. I don't kiss n tell)

 

My wife said she would like a new bay window, I didn't know she meant for the living room,

 

I had a tribute play at home Malc

 

Code for VW specialist

 

My dad had a white over red 1972 tin top Devon that he bought new. That's it really, when Anne decided she wanted a camper van it had to be a bay.

 

I moved to Cornwall ,there was a vw camper garage at the end of our road ,kept passing and wanted one....

I was too young for a caravan and too old for a tent ,this seemed perfect ,classic van and trendy....

I recon if I still lived in west yorkshire ,I would not be on tlb now ,I would be driving a morris marina or summart...

 

Well we were considering attending a few events staying in TLB club areas. We are now quite worried.....

 

Its mostly stolen, I'm not that clever

 

My Mrs made me do it. I was (still am) into Harley Davidsons. She made me buy a shortened T25 but the brakes were so sharp, neither of us could safely drive it. Edd China's fault, him and his motorised sofa's who would cut the middle out of a T25 anyway? I'll tell you who, bloody Edd China that's who. After parking the thing in the garden for years a bloke from Brizzle had it and done it up real smart. Streamside garage I think. Then I bought a longer one from a bloke called Baxter in Udds. Good van but they rot. Had it 5 years though. Swapped it for a LT, bloody awful thing. used to whine at me all the time. Then my 1st bay, that was a state but I made a profit on it. Wish i'd never sold it. Doors were all rotten as was one rear corner. When I picked it up I got half way home up the A34, stopped in a lay by and it didn't start again. Dynamo had packed in so we had to bump start it backwards and put the brakes on before we hit the A34 again going the wrong way. Loved it to bits, that was a late van, swore like a trooper at myself when the lad that bought it drove away. Had nothing for a number of years then saw a cheap early on JK. It was cheap for a reason. The so called engineer that "restored" it thought he's restore the engine as well. Only thing was, he's never done one before and didn't line the dowels in the cases up properly so it ended up partially seizing one day after I'd parked it up. What a tool. Before it did that, found out one day pulling out of sainsbury's he's fixed the engine onto the carrier with bolts that were too short so the engine dropped. I almost crapped my pants. Did I say what a tool? Got it all fixed, engine helicoiled with longer screws put in and rebuilt. Still got this one now. I'm off for a cuppa. Yeah, bloody women.

 

Bought a 1500 beetle in 1991 at the age of 21 and spent about 4 years going to various VW events , can't remember many of them for some reason
I then got fed up of welding it up and making do so took it off the road and 'restored' it and flogged it and bought a mk2 golf with heaters!!
Always hankered after a T2 but I've always had scooters and my lambretta and scooter rallies took up all my spare time and money..
Then a couple of years ago I realised that I was being very selfish spending most of my summer razzing round the country and Europe on scooter rallies and not spending time with my wife and young daughter , we then decided that now as the time to buy a camper and that was that , we bought one in March 2015 and we love it ( most of the time ) and I haven't been on my scooter since last October , I do miss the mates and craic on scooter rallies but I am starting to make new friends within the VW fraternity and absolutely love driving the Van...

Should have said - always been a VW fan , couple of Mk2 GTIs and a very quick Corrado ( would love another but nowhere to keep it) the wife has had a couple of Seat Ibizas ( lovely cars ) and I'm now in an A3 so never stray too far

 

i never wanted a vw ,never even looked at them .my neighbour had one ,used to think what a fool always fixing it lol.then my lad bought a 1970 beetle on his 18th birthday complete bag of crap but hey ho after a few months of work she was up and running and i did enjoyed driving her about .then for some un known reason we went to volksworld show and as they say i was hooked and a few months later after a messy divorce i bought my bus mertle best thing ive ever done .been on some great adventures. then this year i bought a 1970 beetle lol
