I want to express my appreciation to Mr. John Holland of Hillsborough, NC. He had a couple of items he gave me for frree to be able to complete the interior of my 1970 Beetle.

This does not happen as a norm outside of the aircoole vw community. Once again thanks John.

Alot of that goes on with VW's. Good group of people.

I am going to hijack this thread to thank somebody named James, who sent me free of charge, the complete instructions to a z-bed kit for my '71 bus. He was selling a new kit on the Samba, all I needed was the instructions and he was gracious enough to make a xerox copy for me, he refused to accept money for postage or anything.

Most 'dubbers I've met are cool that way, especially among fellow Sambanistas.

Well, so long as we're at it -- George (tramandbixrule) sent me a voltage regulator last week, free of charge, with lots of good energy thrown in to boot.

My car is running now -- and I was close to giving up on it -- before his generous offer and encouragement.

My first Bug was a gift from one of my neighbors, and my Ghia vert was given to me for a deal so cheap, I couldn't tell anyone. That's love.

I would love to, however I was hit twice in a 12 day period. The first person hit me on the right rear and had no insurance. I went ahead and fixed it at a cost of over $500. Then while the car is parked at work it gets hit again on the drvers door, quarter panel, and right rear fender. The estimate is over $1,350

Needless to say I missed a show in Fort Lauderdale and now I am going to miss the Florida Bug Jam. All is not bad, today I received a check from the first person to hit me. I hope it is cashed by their bank tomorrow. For the second incident they had insurance and I should know tomorrow when I get the check (it was adjusted Wednesday).

Once the repair is done I will post pics. I am trying to stay happy otherwise I would be really pissed off.

Thanks.
