  1. hi hope the pictures of our bus make it on. we have had Madge for 6 years now. an aussie import , imported over by Recycling VWs. dont think they going anymore whatever happened to Lex the owner. top chap. anyway good solid bus but been through most of it as matter of course nothing nasty found and lashings of waxoil. new canvas last year made by the wonderfull helpfull people at Chesterfield specialist canvas services but diy fitted. lots of hols under her belt with the family and kye the dog. big smiles all round when we drive her. low points fitting new alternator then after few mins running lots of smoke and melted battery harness due to b+ threaded stud to long and just touching alt back cover, beware all. cheers anyway [​IMG]
