    VW Convertible.

    Same one alright. I'm not sure there is any charming ability left in me now. Three plus years asking has me worn out.Its a pity that it will just rot away, and probably end up with Mr Scrappy, but hopefully not.

    VW Convertible.

    I told her that if i took it, i would make sure it would not end up a parts car. I think one or two other guys promised the same.

    VW Convertible.

    Not sure where to put this, so I am dumping it here for the moment. This is a car I have been after for a few years, along with other interested parties according to the owner. So why is it still there then I ask myself. I have called numerous times over the last 3 years in an attempt to get...

    I saw an ad on the net and a chap says he has the logbook of a beetle that was a one owner GT beetle reg number 3431 ZI. Does the number ring a bell at all.

    Eriba Puck wanted

    You are probably right. But what happens when my outbound ticket is for a single car, and my return is for a double space. You cant deny that. Anyway I'm chasing that one down with a friend who works in the customs for revenue..
