Welcome to my first blog ever.
Within this blog I intend to write about all things that I like.
I LIKE OLD VW'S!!!
The catalyst for starting a blog is Mary.
So,.. in November 2009,.. after first seeing 'Mary' in June 2008 on the internet she was on the way home with me.
Thanks must first go to long time friend Dylan for allowing me to use his Land Cruiser to drag Mary more than 1000 klms home.
Mary is beetle number 6 for me. That's a little crazy isn't it. My sixth beetle!!
But now that I've just become middle aged, I'm going to embrace my love of old cars instead of using common sense and only having my modern 'everyday' car.
Is this a stepping stone to becoming a 'silly old bugger' when I'm old???
To most she may not look like much, but, Mary has many redeeming features.
Firstly she is original,.. has never been smashed,.. has no structural rust,.. and has her original 'heart',..er,.. motor.
A full history on her will follow at a later stage.
She is called Mary because she is a one owner car (after having been 'held' by Steve Muller for a few years.) and her owners name was Mary Dray. So thank you Ms Dray for keeping her nice and original and not crashing into anything. This car is named in your honour.
