on the topic of vehicles for "getting around shows", I can't help but want to punch the "scenesters" I see at shows on bicycles/scooters/whatever. Right in the mush. It's irrational I know but that's just how I feel. Twats...

If only there was a quicker way of getting around..........

Yeah, this was one of my favourite ones as it was so original looking. Last registered and on the road in 1972. It was also so complete and had all the hard to find Barndoor parts still there like the dash clock. Even the ragtop was in great shape.

see above comment re bicycles. Seriously, how much of a twat can one person be? Needing to "get around a show"? Are they in a hurry? I thought the idea of going to a car show was to slowly mooch around the exhibits, perusing the different models, considering the modifications robbing the valve caps when nobody is looking. Not pedaling a childs tricycle or bike. Grow the fuck up.

that barn door samba is sweet. I'd sell the wife and kids for that!

Everything seemed to be for sale there, or at least, people were busy talking values and some of the American and Asian enthusiasts/dealers were trying to buy stuff up. I couldn't even afford the BMXs or mobility scooters but I believe your wife phoned ahead and bought you a Barndoor Samba but as that's a surprise for you, I can't say anymore :p
