Maybe not 40-odd years ago whenever that calendar was new... nowadays they're likely dragging on the ground. lol

Well you learn to cook on old pans you know!  Wink

Yeah, I think we were all talking when she was nubile. She probably lives in a trailer in Granite Falls or Darrington now.





Lol... awesomeness... the word nubile isn't used nearly enough these days.  lol

Took a quick trip to the Das Volks show in Calgary this weekend. Nice event in a beautiful park but they don't have much for a swap.

Only three swap spots but did manage to find a few good deals.

I found a nice NOS 041 head, some NOS head light retainers, Osram bulb kit, a very cool EMPI Imp instruction manual, DDS and EMPI price sheets from 70-72 and a few other items.

Only problem was I only had a carry on backpack for the flight home. As I was looking around the swap spot I saw an old box in the back of one of the swap trucks. I had a look and it turned out to be a very cool vintage RCAF case..................best part only $5

I have one similar – I think they're were just generic kits, not allied to any one particular marque.

I scored an over-the-tunnel cocoa mat a few weeks ago, but couldn't get the picture to post. It was exciting to find — always wanted this style for my car.

I don't know about you guys but to me, seeing a recent swap meet or e-bay score here, and then two weeks later, the same parts for sale elsewhere, is getting a little old.

Agreed, been thinking the same thing. Too much gloating then selling, kinda odd/unique compared to most on here.

Pick the gloat part or the sell part, don't do both.   Grin

Nothing wrong with the gloating and then the selling it's what I & other collector's/seller's do because we do spend alot of time and $$$ looking for these item's for other's to purchase.. What's wrong with that... Huh I don't see anything wrong with that because you can't keep everything you find otherwise an individual would have tooo much of the same thing just sitting on the shelf in the rafters etc....When one find's something why not sell it to someone who really would use it and appreciate it more than the person that find's it and make a few buck's doing it. I've said it before and I'll say it again..where else would alot of people get thing's for their vw's if other people didn't take the time and effort to find these things for someone else to use  Roll Eyes Personally when I see pictures of fellow collector's showing off their collection I get a great feeling when I see numerous item's they've bought from me sitting on their display case or when I walk the show car area and people say "THANKYOU" for helping me get the rare unobtainable accessory for my vw  Wink Seriously  Roll Eyes in all honesty probably 3/4's of the people on this site has purchased something from me over the 20 plus year's I've been selling/buying so when I do post pic's of thing's I find and then selling it isn't such a bad thing eh !!! because it is my bread and butter and keep's my family fed  Wink

Somehow I knew that response was coming...the point is, if you toned down the rhetoric a bit, it would be less annoying I think.  Everyone thinks the parts are very cool of course, it's just the presentation.   Grin

I don't see a problem with it at all.  I actually like coming on here and seeing the stuff people dig up.  I also think its cool that he sells the stuff off instead of putting it in storage, never to see the light of day. Nothing wrong with making a few bucks!
