No, but what I could really use is some dog crap and a couple of A/C vent registers!! Do you ship?

I'm guessing that because of the small rear window and grill location on the car you bought that it's a really, really old bug. Tell us more. Enquiring minds want to know.

It's a 1955 bug. It was the centerpiece of a bunch of VW parts I bought yesterday from a guy up in the hills. He and his brother have an informal junkyard with all kinds of insane early stuff. I got two single cabs full of stuff - some crap, some treasure, and some various VW lit, ironically, from a guy who was illiterate. No, really - he told us he never learned to read, so he couldn't tell me if the manuals were in English or German. The whole mess for $500, but I had to take it all.

I'll post a thread on the OT forum later today.

Interesting wedding from 2003 I just happened to find today.

Keith and Nicola's Wedding
August 9th 2003

August saw a wedding within the club!!!! Keith and Nicola tied the knot surrounded by sunshine and cars !! As they're both into their cars - Keith with his mini and Nicola with her slightly (!?) faster Porsche 911 Targa, it seemed only fitting that the cars were also part of the wedding ! Nicola organised for us to meet outside the church during the wedding as a surprise for Keith which worked a treat ! As they came out of the Church we could here Keith shouting "WE HAVE MINIIIS !!"

The cars looked fantastic in their wedding decorations, and drew a lot of attention from everyone that saw us !! We also saw the first evidence that the new BMW mini can hover - check out the video !!!
