Italy Well as its near the end of 2009, I thought i should finish off posting pics of our trip to Europe last year. I did manage to squeeze in a VW event or two, But first we zipped over to Italy. We called up the old boy, to see if he was in....

Nice forgery. So it was back on with the rear brakes and the 8 inch fuchs. Nice to have those big boys back on there. Dropped the old fella back on the ground and put some more blue on his nose. Screwed the bumper on and that's just about it.

Bumps. Stand back folks, the man is about his desecration antics again. I see now why most people dont run Porsche rear brakes, cos it widens the track about 50mm. Probably because of the internal handbrake. But I am determined to run the Monoblo...

Liquid Snails. So yeah, we got back from the Shark Bay trip with no problems. Good ol bus! But the insulation I put in with the "new improved" liquid nails didnt hold. On the first hot day it all fell on the floor. So after getting back home and ...
