Title: Re: December 77 Hot VWs wanted Post by: ESH on November 21, 2006, 17:18:06 pm Were publishing dates back then like they are now? By that I mean ahead of the month, reason I ask is that let's say you were born from the middle of the month onwards then as your Mum, the avid HotVW's fan that she was scooted into the hospital the copy she might have grabbed off of the news stand would have possibly been January / April one rather than the December / March one. Just a thought....
:o Title: Re: December 77 Hot VWs wanted Post by: Zach Gomulka on November 21, 2006, 17:31:23 pm Damn youngsters! :( Whats that supposed to mean??? I think its pretty amazing that any "youngster" is willing to tackle a full restoration of a 40 year old car these days. You guys had it easy! Title: Re: December 77 Hot VWs wanted Post by: Rick Meredith on November 21, 2006, 18:01:59 pm Dude! Don't be so serious! I was just having some fun! I certainly didn't mean for any disrespect. If you took it as such, I apologize.
As far as "easy" well I think that's relative. Sure the cars were newer then and it was easier to get OE parts, But now there's much more access to knowledge, parts and people outside of your local area. The Lounge is a perfect example,, you and I are realtively close... a few hundred miles apart... yet it would have much harder for us to share ideas before. I'm not saying one is easier than the other, just different. Title: Re: December 77 Hot VWs wanted Post by: Zach Gomulka on November 22, 2006, 02:52:43 am Dude! Don't be so serious!

I guess the frown face you posted got my panties in a bunch ;) I agree that the internet and technology in general have made our cars much better then they ever have been, but I still would rather start with a 10 year old car as opposed to my now 40 year old one :) Title: Re: December 77 Hot VWs wanted Post by: Jon on November 22, 2006, 12:12:59 pm Hmm... any one got March -75 laying around?
Title: Re: December 77 Hot VWs wanted Post by: Ole on November 22, 2006, 14:31:20 pm Hmm... any one got March -75 laying around? Be glad your matching issue isn't the one of the month before - might get expensive... ;) ;D Title: Re: December 77 Hot VWs wanted Post by: Frank LUX on November 22, 2006, 14:35:08 pm Hmm... any one got March -75 laying around? Hi Jhu, I've got a spare one 15€ Shipped to you... Frank Title: Re: December 77 Hot VWs wanted Post by: Jon on November 22, 2006, 16:30:46 pm Hey Frank, I'll take it! Sendt you a PM.
Ole, I wouldn't have minded... btw there is something fishy about my birth date as well... 1303-75 ?? (That's how we write dates in Norway) Title: Re: December 77 Hot VWs wanted Post by: alex d on February 09, 2007, 13:57:32 pm I keep looking for it!
