Beach Buggies

Hey guys, was just told about your group by a guy from work.

I am completely new to the world of VW's, but recently bought a GP Mk2 Beach Buggy. I was just wondering if there are any more buggies floating around the Weston area?

I'll probably be seeing some of you soon at the next meeting.

Cheers for now

SEAN

Hey Sean...welcome.....get some pics of the buggy up....there was a buggy from Yatton at the last meet...while we are on the subject of buggies check this out

Here are a few pics of my new toy....








Was that beach buggy at the last get together pink by any chance? It belongs to Simon, who works for the same company as me. I didnt know he had one until I got mine a month ago!! Small world isn't it?

I dunno...i thought it was orange.....however it was dark....nice looking buggy by the way

Hey welcome bud i love buggy's but i'm not aloud one (yet)


Spenny the buggy was as pink as you can get

well i never

Cool Buggy dude.
As for Spence saying he didn't realise the buggy was pink......yeah right!! I heard that it is the favourite colour he makes Ed wear for him when he working for him!!!

Thanks for the comments guys, it is pretty cool, although the photo's make it look a lot better than it does in real life!! There are a few things I wanna sort out before next summer, most of which are just cosmetic things. The interior needs to be redone, and I definately need new seats as the cobras in it are well beyond repair, doh!! Well I guess thats what the winter is for when you got a buggy

On another note Mr Scoops, I noticed on your 'Club Logo Stickers' thread that you live in Belgrave road? The world is getting smaller cos I live in the adjoining road, woodstock road. Spooky huh?

Indeed it is a small world Mandark.......you should give us a shout sometime. As for your seats you should see if you can get yours recvovered.......might be cheaper than having to shell out for new seats.

Yeah, I was thinking about getting them re-upholstered when I first got it. But then I realised that:

A)The drivers side headrest is snapped of and just kinda flaps around
B)They are actually damn uncomfortable!! (Found this out after driving the thing back from Leicestershire, where i bought it!! )

(PS Im the guy who drives the motorway maintenance car normally, and has a red mini cooper on the driveway. I have noticed your Beetle parked up a couple of times )

hello welcome if you want the seats retrimed cheap i can give you a number to a good mate that is very cheap he just don a split bench seat and single seat for £150 and they look great give me a shout if you do i will pm you his number

I'll bare that in mind thanks

Will probably get the rear seats re-upholstered, but the front ones actually need repairing aswell. So ill probably look into new seats.

Got all winter to decide

no worries

No i dont make him wear Pink....but I do insist on a bit of leather

The pink colours his own choice anyway

Hey, i finally registered! Not sure if my pic in my Sig will work tho?!

Cant believe there are only 2 buggies in weston!!

There must be more around somewhere? Admittedly its the wrong time of year, hehe

Technically only 1, cos SimonABT is in Yatton

I do like buggies, I was considering asking my father in law if he wanted to go halves building a SWB street buggy.
Mmmmm, I'm thinking 2007cc minimum, side pods, slammed......


Ooooooh, I'm getting wood!!

Ok, calm down man

I like them too, always wanted one since I was a kid, then just decided to get one a few months ago!! Its great!!!

I was kinda thinking that maybe you guys wouldn't like it that much, cos its not a true VW? If you know what i mean?

But hey, its still a Beetle at heart...

I love buggys but just abit impratical with the missis and 3 kids

if its aircooled its cool with us mandark!


(obviously vw aircooled, no 2CV's!! )

Welcome Sean ..

Hope I was nice to you when you did work experience at SCT.
