Then again John, when we emigrated there in 1963, my dad had his VW Beetle shipped with us - so perhaps it wasn't such an unusual thing to do? Those were the days - none of these 24 hour flights - we did it the hard (but much nicer) way - 6 weeks on a ship, through the Suez Canal, not that I remembe...

The seller has sent me a few more photos:

I'm assuming we'll be seeing you at Leafers, if not before?

Cheers,
Robin.

PS. Don't forget to tap me on the shoulder this time

Well he hasn't mentioned it - perhaps he thinks it's always been like that, or maybe he hasn't noticed yet :stars: Are you there, John - can you hear us talking about you :neener: No - perhaps too busy writing letters about folk singers to the LRO :wink: Maybe he lies on the bonnet and peeks over t...
