Re: Mrs van der Mark's Samba
Hi Pine
Do you have the original? I would love to get a copy - or better yet: the original.
As you know i have a lot of the original paperwork of the kombi - as i don't have this particular piece it would really be great to get it.
Thanks for posting it and sharing it.

Re: Mrs van der Mark's Samba
Hi Pine - thx for the offer - much appreciated. I'll get some of my pictures together and post it.
As for watching the film again: anytime. The rest of the year is quite full between my travels, Bonnievale camping weeking, the Classic Car show and we'll certainly have a year-end gathering for the Kombi club. So let's do it early in 2010.
