Would you not also come over aggressive if your name was at stake.

I work hard at my rep,and don't need people dissing me or talk down at me.

Most of the replies was uncalled for,as I had problem with pmgbus and not anyone else.As I said,I respect the loyalty towards pmg,but if this happened to someone else,I would read and wait to hear what the other party says before I jump in in belittle someone.

Bare in mind that there are genuine VW lovers out there who dearly want a splitty bus but are finding it very difficult to find one like here in Oz. So many have left our shores for the UK as well.
Surely you don't have anything against an aussie searching for his dream ride in SA? Your splitty's are RHD like ours which make it a bonus rather than buying from the US which of course are LHD.
If it's a genuine VW lover wanting to buy 1 splitty to make his own, I can't see you guys having a problem with that.

On your first(and only) post!!

I rest my case,Gazztan! :evil:
Good detective work chief.
I won't bother quoting some of the replies I received or PM's but if I did the world would understand why it was my last post, NEVER TO RETURN.

This is a hobby and interest which people use to have fun, meet people and enjoy VW's and a common interest. I don't know what you have over there.

I have absolutely no inclination to get anything from SA. With a 61 DC, 62 15 window and a handful of chevs, my stable is full. I was just trying to add some balance to a very lop sided thread.

If you had a bone to pick with pmg that is fine, but your response was just abuse and threats. The first time I've ever seen it on this forum, what does that say about you mate!!! :idea:

That's it, I'M DONE!!!

that last barny that was sold on ebay sometime late last year was found in SA too wasn't it Bruce?? ...

have there been many others from SA? ... does someone have a register on here showing where all the Barny's were found ?
