Hi all - I'm putting this here and also in the Meeting Room section. While clearing stuff out of the loft at the weekend (a long overdue quarantine job!) I found a pile of Volksworld magazines. These are: 2010 - Summer, October and December 2011 - Jan, Feb, April, July, August, Summer, Sept and...

It's that time of year again when, if you keep your VW outside, it gets battered by the elements. I used this to cover my 74 Bug. It's a 4-layer Stormforce car cover (model CCC 248 - correct for Beetles), and did a great job of protecting the car (it's waterproof, and breathable). The...

Carpet set from a 1974 Beetle. This is NOT in mint condition - but might do the job for you if you need a carpet set (or part thereof). As far as I am aware it is complete. Holes for heater ducts front and rear. It is worn through just above the rubberised part (see photo below), but when in...

Out of interest (and maybe these should just be binned – but they may be useful to someone!) I also have a set of exhaust gaskets (spare, from when I replaced the exhaust last year), a set of unused points (I had electronic ignition fitted), and a rear light lens, that are free of charge – if...

It’s been quite a while since I last checked in here – since Zippy moved on to his new owner I’ve been on the search for a replacement set of wheels, but nothing grabbed my fancy. I feel I’ve done the Beetle thing, and deep down want(ed) a Ghia – but could find nothing suitable (well, not for my...

For sale, ZIPPY, my 1.3 Twin Port Beetle which was first registered in February 1974, and is an Irish built car. I’m the third registered owner and have owned him for the past 8 years and in that time we’ve covered just over 10,000 miles. He has been very well looked after, and very reliable...

Went to this last week - but just getting pics off the phone now. Some very cool machinery on show. And great to see cars from my younger day that I just don't see on the road anymore (like the Vauxhall Viva I learned to drive in - then subsequently blew the head gasket on. Or the Triumph...

Opel GT.... hadn't seen one before This stood out for me. Didn't touch it, but think it was wrapped (tho may well have been painted in matt black) Hardly a classic..... yet! Hard as nails... there's no reference points here, but I'm pretty sure the pistons from ZIPPY would fit...

Other marques on show: The reg... what a coincidence :-) One of the first cars I owned in my student days(well, not this one exactly!). Due to an infestation of tin worm mine had a silverbody shell, with both doors, bonnet and boot lid all replaced with differentcoloured...

Some pics from the "classic section". Guess I should start with the few aircooled VW's on show.... Some reading material on show in the back of the Beetle:

Took Zippy on first "real run" in ages.....to the Vintage show in Ballymahon. Some nice metal on parade - and some cars that I used to own, but they weren't "vintage" when I had them!!! Representing the aircooled side of things were: and proof that Zippy is motoring..... think...
