You could sell the fiats to fund the t4

I have thought of maybe doing that but I'd need to buy a trailor too & find somewhere to store it which is a bit of a headache. Also a T4 would be more expensive to run, tax & insure than a split or bay...Hmmm

dunno if I would miss racing... it gets quite lonely sitting in the fire up lane while everyone else gets to see the show, drink, sit on the bank etc

...and they aren't fucking Fiats!! they're Porsche 914s dinlow!

914's arn't they a bit classic? They look nowt like the X-19's

The trailer could kill it!

Be honest.. they do look a bit similar

yeah a bit I guess... if you squint

anyway, mines much nicer than the one you posted

ooooof lady wee alert!! that is sweeeeeeeeeet

thanks Wonks!!

...might be for sale soon if you & Al want to add to the collection

oh my god i think al would kill me if I wanted another car. ( i would very much like!!!)
we are trying to cut the size of the fleet down arrgggh

Personally Ben i think you would regret getting rid off ur bug mate.
Ive got my 56 Oval and my Split i cant drive em both at the same but i COULDNT get rid of either.I nearly did sell my Oval a few months back,but i just thought how would i feel if i saw someone else driving it!!!
My van is pissing me off at the mo still trying to get my front end sorted(wheels rubbing when i go over bumps) and ive got a narrowed beam n dropped spindles on it finally, but i couldnt get rid of it.
Youve put a lot of work into ur bug mate be a shame to see someone else get the benefit of that hard work.
I know how ya feel in the tent tho we just take extra bedding.

Hard decision to make fella..
Me i say keep it and sell a kidney to buy a splitty...........

If you do decide to sell it I want first refusal

Who bought that Dodge thing? Anyone I know?

thanks mate I don't want to sell it but really most of the hard work was by Si/ It was his car first and I never thought he would sell it but eventually the lure of camper comfort was too much & it came our way

If I sold it I would have the kick up the arse to finish the other 66, so I wouldn't be bugless but having just been out tinkering with it, I really don't wanna let it go... I still love it

maybe selling the 914 would be the better idea

honestly I don't know... I know what I paid for it but in today's market I'm not at all sure. It's insured for £8K and I certainly wouldn't consider parting with it for less than £5k so somewhere in between I guess

How about one of those caravan's that fix to the roof of the bug
with a glorified roof rack. I can see you rolling with one of
them.

or better still Ben,
you couldalways just get shitfaced n sleep on the back seat of the bug

I used to sleep in the back seat of my mk1 Golf cab' all the time - not always drunk either.

Shagged plenty in the Lupo too

I can fold up pretty small though - had a really good nights sleep locked in the boot of a mk1 Fiesta once.

No the Lupo shags were the ex-wife - she left me for an accountant with a 405 saloon - she took the Lupo too. (and the rest, I was shafted )

There were plenty I turned down for Lupo-sex too - but I was married and loyal - what a chump

Dont cast off my cast offs bro, i want the 914 back but i'd have to pay you £50 a month and thats after i've given you the £200+ i already owe you lol

sell the 914 ( to me for 50p plus tax of £2.75) and keep the most gorgeous sexy 66 beetle i have seen/ my verdi lives up to your beetle

The 914 does look sweet, maybe I should have it :muse:
