Hello, Nick Here. My rides.
Hi everyone,
Just thought I'd say hello.
I'm 26, I live in Horsham, Sussex. I have a 1973 GT beetle with the roof hacked off and a 1963 Split which I'm currently doing up. I am a member of the SSVC.
The bug has been in the family for years (I didn't choose the colour :lol: ) and has had just about every panel and the floorpans replaced since the family bought it. I took over ownership of it 3 years ago after it had been sitting in a barn for 5ish years and got it back to health. I have been to the last 2 Brighton Breezes, the 2 Buglovin events, Aldershot Retro Custom wheels day, 2007 Beach Buggin in Portsmouth and the SVWOC show in Chalvington.
Here's Bertie
The Split is a work in progress. It is a Californian import, I got it in December.
And how it is now
SCF3374.flv">
I have a big thread on the SSVC website http://www.ssvc.org.uk/phpbb/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=47958
Would be cool to meet some others at shows etc at some point.
Thanks for reading
Nick

Re: Hello, Nick Here.
Wow, must have taken you really ages to find a splitty that colour co-ordinated so perfectly with your dog.

Why aim for perfection when a lampost is a reachable target?

Re: Hello, Nick Here.
Good luck with MOT tomorrow. I found my steering wheel puller in my cupboard at home...It can live there for now...let me know if you feel the need to pull your wheel!

Any fool can make things bigger, more complex, and more violent. It takes a touch of genius - and a lot of courage - to move in the opposite direction.
