Highly collectable cars now I owned one when I was 19 and sold it for £300.00 great car if you get a good one.
The guy next door to me is restoring the Beetle fast back with the 1800cc engine in he's been doing it for 4 years now and he has another beetle that only gets used when its sunny so not used a lot lately lol..
Looks like some dumb ass has tried to use the a frame on the front to pull it.

Lol
i aint taking on anyone, just me myself and i, lol
looked out for him today ,as i havn`t yet seen him due to not getting down that way normally, i rekon he might go to the place i went too.
yeh its good to be earning again,
dont like talking about D3 and problems lol, but running fine atm although i did have a wheel bearing collapse on the trailer today , luckily was only half an hour from home on the salt box cafe, so i just took the wheel off and came home like that , didnt feel any different luckily it was only a 1.5 ton camper on and not 2800kg of access platform or plant.
