DizzyLizzie Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I noticed the VW agg cups in the shop - just wondered if there was anyone with a real one? We have a late bay orange and white van which we use at any opportunity. We want to get some more - hubby's hobby is tinkering with older vehicles (and spending loads of time on HIS forum) - I amuse myself with my animals (2 rabs, 1 cat) and my children (2 little boys) and now I've found THIS forum . I'll have to work out how I can upload some pics of van, man, animals and kids... [/img] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tessa the Duchess Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 We had an orange VW Camper for years until I said "I can't stand the thought of another camping holiday"! now we have a VW Caravelle Transporter. I love the old style Beatle but they are just not big enough for our family, dog, shopping etc., I would really love an electric car, but we have no driveway so it would be impossible to charge up, can't have wires trailing across the pavement. Anybody got an electric car? Tessa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinnamon Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I used to have a gorgeous bright orange old style Beetle, which The Hubby restored fully over a number of years. He was really,really lovely & got admiring looks wherever he went. Then the children came along & it was no longer practical, so he had to go I still miss him - no other car has as much character as a Bug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DizzyLizzie Posted September 17, 2007 Author Share Posted September 17, 2007 Here's a pic - Helpful hubby emailed the link to me. (must learn to do it myself some time... ) This is our van, me and the kids last year. Dominic is the oldest (5) and Chris will be 3 in a couple of weeks.

Tina C Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 I have Charlie Camper - he is a purple bay from 1979 - last year of the old Type 2s! He my 'car' as well as our faithful holiday companion. Last trip weekend before last - camping in Thetford Forest. Weekend before that Layla (6) and I slept on the drive in him (long story - postman was a bit surprised) He is a bit of a moneypit but we love him Better go now as I will be sounding rather weird to non-VW fans....

Snowy Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 My Dad had one in the blue colour up until a couple of years ago. He's now replaced it with the more modern shaped one. When we only had one son we often borrowed it for holidays. Spent many happy hours pootling round the roads, heading a convoy of irate drivers!

theherd123 Posted September 17, 2007 Share Posted September 17, 2007 VW camper vans remind me of my youth when my nanna & grandad had one which i loved to bits. I would love a camper now but the OH is reluctant as it would cost a mint to do up and we really dont have the time to dedicate to it now I would adore it if i could get my hands on a split screen - that would be just great!
