My beetle is an idiot*....

That looks very tidy

 

If I was in the market for one I'd be interested

 

Me too, oddly.

 

Thanks!

Took it out last night, all fixed, new ignition barrel in (well, its actually an old German one, but its so much better than the 'new' one!)

Almost home when the generator light came on, its now eaten is wood ruff key (hence this plea http://thelatebay.com/index.php?threads/woodruff-key-for-dynamo.71828/)

I swear this car is cursed - its been great for ages up to now. grrrr.

 

The key will be a standard metric size - have a look on eBay. There's nothing special about them. I did have some, but can't remember where I put them

 

No he isn't, he just doesn't want to leave!

 

Its a sign, my daughter wants a beetle and her dog is called Winston , but she is on minimum wage(isnt everyone) so cant afford.

 

I must be being thick. But ebay on my mobile won't show the price.

 

Are you in the Dunstable Triangle?

 

Ah yes. You've heard about the Dunstable triangle. Things go missing all the time. Only this week both my bank account and my erectile function have disappeared.

 

Hmm, sounds like a limp excuse to me.

 

You know the Windsock was designed by aliens?

 

Don't start that again.

 

Some say the Triangle stretches as far as Leighton Buzzard...

 

Mmmmmm very nice. Trouble is I am down in Surrey. Anyone in Chester area that could have a look at it for me??

 

Perhaps get it reliable and then sell or drop your price for a quick sale and let someone else fix its faults which seem to be coming now.

 

Tomorrow I have another viewing. So I wash the beetle and drive it across the road. As I do so, there is a sharp reak of petrol and the fuel gauge lurches down.

Inspection shows a new fuel hose is now full of holes.

£10 of petrol all over the road.

FFS.

Luckily there is more hose in the shed, so popped the tank out and fitted a new length.

All sorted now, but I'm getting tired of these games......

 

Missed a trick there. You could have 'dropped your cigarette...'.
Jewish lightning, my (Jewish in case anyone gets heated) bro in law calls it...
