Here's hoping ......

Post by Dibsy »

Hi, Just saying hello to everyone. I have owned a few lowlight Kombi's in the past and a Beetle but like everyone what i really want is a Splitty !

Well, i decided it was now or never to try and find one so i have sold off my ten Scooters and assorted clutter and started to look about ...... Hmm ... perhaps i did not anticipate having to take out a second mortgage to get one :(

So my predicament is do i but a reasonably tidy Bay window & please the wife, or buy a very rusty / tatty Split and attempt to restore bearing in mind that i do not weld ! At this juncture i am thinking of a US import but i don't think my wife would like to drive a lefty !

I'm in Greenbank on Brisbane Southside and enjoyed seeing the Splitties on show at Pimpema today ... any unfinished projects please point my way.

Cheers !

Hi Shaven, my names Mark Dyble .... usual story ex UK - used to go to Bug Jams at Santa Pod etc, Married an Aussie girl and both my kids where born here, now the kids are of an age that i want to include them in my Hobby before they fly the nest.

Just afraid that i either end up with a Bay window, or a Splitty that needs so much welding that i would never finish it .... hence the LHD option !

Here's hoping :wink:
