Sweet! Welcome Kevi.

You're welcome to join our bus runs anytime!...and I'm sure whatever runs the others organize, too.

I'm Kevi from Centurion. I have just completed restoring my 68 bay window bus. The bus was built to do promotions for my business but i am looking to join a club as well :wink:
Well, merely by owning a bus you have already joined the Kult. :twisted: Welcome to the fold.

That goes for all the other bus owners out there too.

We haven't done a run in a while but we'll be sure to let you know about the next one ...

Well Kevi the Force is always looking for new friends to turn to the Darkside, consider yourself part of the family. Your corruption will begin with the small donation of a kidney........ :shock:

Hi All,
We are really pleased to have found this amazing site. I got into Beetles way back in the form of a 55 Oval ---R100-00 --- had it for years. put all the usual Okrasa stuff on it - fun ! Then a new 65 1200 Did the judson thing to that one--GREAT fun!! Then had a T3 Van, and a 74 beetle-- for some reason I didn't like that one, and went off flats for a few years. Then my young son, to whom I had never uttered a word about VW's , started to collect T1 models--- Say no more. years later I picked up a totally trashed '70 bug and we re-built it and added a few basic tricks over the past few years. It has turned out really nice.--Just those pesky Gti's and Corsa's--hmmmm--- need to work on some hot stuff to fix that!! We are going to need some good hands-on advice in that department soon. lots to sourcing and goodieds to buy as well. The amazing stuff available for VW"s these days is mind boggling.
Looks like the Bug has bitten-- well-- re-bitten. Look forward to discussing some ideas with the boffins that are on the forum. Cheers!

Indeed. ;) ...just needs a li'l 'tuning' to her engine though. Woman trouble over thousands of km's ain't nice.
