and I came across this behind me when we were over taking a few togs on the back roads ......

any one here New Forest way....

Nice shots!
Would make a great CoM!

Nice new bars on the back btw, and you got a new '76'... sweet

you got a new '76'...

Gavin, what is a '76'??

Best regards,

Bert

 

[Evil J Guano]

look closely! []

 

[Bertroex]

Okay, thanks for the close up. Now, silly me, I thought it was a ball with a smiley face[8|]


What is the umm, specialness of the "76"?????


Bert

 

[Evil J Guano]

I think it's a VW thing really, nothing special just Mark had his pinched at Goodwood.

 

[Bertroex]

Okay, we are getting closer. A vw thing really, so what is then so special?????

 

[912UK]

It's a name of a Gas station in California. EG like Esso except the orange ball looks much better than Tony the tiger hanging off your car.....

76 is a VW thing and it's Porsche I guess so a lesser amount.. In the USA you can get arrial things all over the place from shops bars etc advertisement gimic mainly so you can find your car in the car park... So the 76 Orange ball has a cult status as such......

 

[912UK]

and yes some thieving little *****er and I hope his mother ***** pi** and I hope they live a short life...... Stole it from my car...

Now my worry is with Goodwood Fes of speed is that little ****s can steal bits off your car and sell them on Ebay so I am not taking my car this year...easy bits like

Hub caps set of ebay £75
Orange Porsche badge £150
Bumper end caps £100

15mins and you could earn £300+ so I am not taking it this year...and leaving it in the general public car park.....

 

[Bertroex]

Thanks Mark for elaborating on the '76' issue. Information Information....

Shame that you wont take the 912 but then again, the sprinter must be faster anyway []

 

[912UK]

The vito is even faster than the sprinter [] I really am a white van man I have two..[]

Must sort my life two vans two 912's oh!! only one 356 oh well best buy another 356 then to keep the order right

Just come back from a thrash down to Good wood Cafe this morning (Sun) and what a drive that was didn't lift off 75-80 all the way.. there was about 6 other DDK'ers there too so it was a good morning.. any one want to go to the next meet first Sunday of the month...

 

[Bertroex]

Well Mark,

I just may want to take you up on that (ie joining on the first sunday of the month). Is that the goodwood Bfast club btw as I have pencilled in my diary August 6th for the already as that was a "german car " day?

Did I notice fraser murry and ferry man's cars?

Best regards.

Ferry mans but no Fraser You saw Miggs's old 912R car in the back ground there.. Bazz has it now and I think it may end up for sale due to a new job he has in the US. I think it's a nice car and worth the money he is asking for it..
