Cool Bananas! Now I wish I had come down - I want mags for my type 3!!! I actually spent the whole day painting my lounge/dining/kitchen areas with the TV on Bathurst(They showed historic footage, and there was a beetle racing!) . A friend of mine and his Girlfriend want to board at my house, and they want to move in soon... I have to get it all painted ASAP! Bugger. I really want to be in too. My GF gomes back from overseas in December, and I really want to be in before then. If there was ojnly 2 other type3's, then I could have got 3rd in mine :-). I once got a second place, there were two enties, so it was by default :-) I think I know the wheels you mean, they are quite neat looking. I think Dave (can't remember his last name, he's in his late 20's I think) used to have them on his square. I suppose you're going to tell me there was a set of type £ fenders andf a type 4 engine for sale cheap too!

Hi list, I am really pleased about the results at a local VW show this weekend. I won second in the Type 3 class out of 3 cars (2 Fastbacks, 1 Notchback). The one that won first prize was immaculate, it had only had 2 owners, and the present owner had bought it in 73 (it was a 71' Fastback). It was really good to compare such an original car with my own one to see what incorrect parts etc. were on mine. I also got a look at his distributor (the correct one) so I know what to look for, for my one now. I also bought some mag wheels to go on my Type 3, they were made specially for the Type 3 with the correct offset etc. The first prize winner car had them on, and when I made a comment about them someone else said they had a set for sale. They are a 4.5" rim with about 12 or so square cut outs around the edge of the rim- I have forgotten what they were called now. Apart from that there was about 100 Beetles and 50 or so Type 2's and a handful of Ghia's and some other VW based cars. Also there was quite a big showing of watercooled cars, about 10 or so in total.
