Hey Dfordman

Marius actually knows of you, the hot rods and old fords etc. He sent me a photo of you driving past him last thur in a grey/light blue lowered oval?

If it was you, its a nice looking car (from a distance). Marius has a blue/black chevy and restoring a very old house.

He flies in this Friday to London, then down to me in the evening. Having a beer then driving it back early Saturday ( if he wants it of course!).

Cheers

Poze, now I know who you're talking of !!!
He's really a cool guy from Vienna area but I didn't think of him to be an early VeeDubber because he mostly is into big American Iron, and he's REALLY a tall guy, so probably a bus is the only Wolfsburg car he might fit in... :lol: ....Glad to hear that he is getting the 53, probably will get in touch with him soon. And he's not the guy to put 24 and a half horses in the bus too... :lol:

And it probably was me on the Autobahn, for I was the only car older than 15 yrs on the road it seemed. :wink: 8) Although I didn't recognize Marius.
That's mine.would be nice if you could pm me the pic he sendt.

Cheers Guenter !

So the bus went last night back Marius's hotel in Bournemouth, and left for France this morning.

He managed to get about half way befoe encountering a problem - a HT lead burned through the outer on the heater riser. So he managed to locate another HT lead and get back on the road about 5 hours behind schedule.

LAst contact i had was from them on the Ferry from Dover to France.
So hopefully its about in Holland now!

So today with my new found garage space i was able to fit the engine back into the vert and bring the oval home and into my garage. Lifes a bit easier now with one car less, although i will really miss it!

cheers

..I've met Paul a couple of times ( & even picked up some BD parts from that very Address, above) & he's a top bloke. He doesn't think exactly like everyone else- but fair play for that!
When i had a 2.4T Porche engine that i was gonna put in my 51 he ran through loads of info with me & showed me various bits of installation on his.
I like the guy & i think it shows his strength of character in this thread.
All the best with your new projects, Poze , & all the best to the new owner of the 'Wonka' bus.. :D 8)
