[BCOrchidGuy]

:lol: Oh Look 1202

[AJ_77]

not ALL useless then... and Christy's hot on your heels.

:biggrin:

[christyf5]

Dougs been way busier with the useless posts than me. Heck I got almost a year and a half on him and he still has more posts than me. Guess I should get busy. :mrgreen:

[BCOrchidGuy]

Christy, get stabbed with a dirty needle by a junkie and you can have some time off work on stress leave too, then you can make all sorts of goofy posts... I'm just doing it to keep my sanity.. sadly.. it's not working.. but, I'm having fun going crazy.. lol

Doug

Hmm, I think I'll pass on that and just fullfill my useless post quota whenever I have the time :eek:

No harm was intended Doug. But as I see it apparently about 80% of what we post here is "useless" :wink:

[BCOrchidGuy]

Christy I know no harm was intended and I sure hope you didn't take my reply as a retaliation. Heck I would have rather not had it happen either but it did so, I'll do their dance and get the PTSD councelling, and when I go back to work... I'll kill someone.. (joke).. ... (kinda)..

and if anyone gets on wearing a perfume to strong.. I'll kidnap you and make you get out in a deserted area... (that's for anyone in the lower mainland who reads the papers)...

Doug

[christyf5]

wow, I'm glad I don't live in the big smoke! :eek:

[Aquattro]

I think we can take the 37 off the front of Steve's posts, as at least that many are just arguing with me. Not real posts at all. I'll see if I can reset his count....hang on.

[BCOrchidGuy]

Steve, man talk about useless posts.. jeez...

lol

Doug
Oh look another useless one..

[Namscam]

and to think someone wanted those little symbols beside our names depending on how many post we have..we re abusing it before we even have it...I hate to think what would happen when we get it....ahhahahaha

[LostMind]

oh man, you guys are too funny up in here ;)

OH YA I HAVE ONE THING ALL YOU GUYS ABD GIRLS DONT HAVE

A BIG GUN :snipersm:
and thats my story and i'm sticking with it. REMEMBER its not the size of it.




WEll yes it is M109-A4 155mm, self propelled howizter that can fire up to 20 KM away. ANd hit a small objs\ect that is 2'x 2'
Now that is PRICELESS.... :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

[BCOrchidGuy]

Asmodeus, you got to get onto one of the old Canadian destroyers when they are firing the mortars. HP compressed air shoots a volkswagon sized projectile way the heck and gone... we sunk a fishing boat one time by shooting a mortar over an island the fishing boat was in a closed area and we had to go pick up the (wet) folks... do I need to tell you they were'nt in a joyous mood.

Doug

[Delphinus]

Ok, I've been biting my tongue long enough ... can't do it ... I gotta jump in with my own irrelevant/tangential opinions ...... and pad my post count too ... LOL

...

Have you ever noticed, the "Volkswagen" is a unit of volume? WTH? It seems so perfectly normal to say something like "the meteorite was the size of a Volkswagen" yet we NEVER, EVER say something like "it was the size of a Peugeot?" or "shoot an object the size of an Austin Mini" ... or whatever ....

weird.

What I want to know is ..... what if an object is the size of a Passat? I could say "it was the size of a Volkswagen" but I'd have to qualify it as "it was the size of a Volkswagen with terrible maintenance/quality issues."

:mrgreen:

[BCOrchidGuy]

But the TDI would "fly" further?..

Doug

When you hear volkswagen what do you think of...... I bet it's the beatle :lol: Everyone knows what volkswagen is.... It's hard to find a country where the beatle hasn't been. Isn't the beatle the most massed produced car? How many people know what the size of a Peugeot is? I don't :lol: Just thought i'd jump into this thread :razz:

[christyf5]

when I hear that "meteorite the size of a volkswagen" comment, I always think of those really crusty old ones that probly weighed a ton and were super boxy looking. They usually come in yellow and are convertibles for some reason (in my mind :razz:)

[Delphinus]

A Thing! Or, to be more purist, a "Type 181." VERY cool cars. :cool:

I'd love to pick one of those. Or a late '60s Karmann Ghia, both of those are my favourite veedubs. The Thing would be considerably easier to do body work on .... seeing as there are no curved surfaces :lol:

[christyf5]

yes thats it! THE THING! :razz:

[Old Guy]

I think this thread has now turned into a total post padding :lol:

[christyf5]

ya think? :wink:


and a "useless" waste of bandwidth too :razz:

Doug

um, there hasn't been one fired sence 92, how old are ya? they were a 100 lb shell wern't they?

[StirCrazy]

Steve

[Aquattro]

[StirCrazy]

ok leave you cell on and I will call you when I get off at noon.

Steve

[BCOrchidGuy]

Christy is only 5 away from 1200 now.. wow she's really gained ground.... lol

When (each time) I've been in hawaii you can see Things running around everywhere. Cool cars but the karman Ghia is one of the coolest little Dubs around.. fwiw I had a 62 Beetle, 1835cc dual carbs etc.. could do wheelies.. what a fun car.

Doug

[Bob I]

1200, how miniscule. :biggrin: Speaking of the WW Thing. It was modelled after the WW11 type 82 Kuebelwagen (I use the ue because I don't have an umlaut on my keyboard., or Bucket car, which was built by VW.

I once had an original 1961 Beetle, 1100CC I believe. I also had a 1973 Super Beetle rebuilt by my brother with the engine rebuilt in Bonner's Ferry by a VW engine specialist. I also had a 1974 camper van. :biggrin: :mrgreen:

[Delphinus]

Did your 61 have a crash box tranny?

I think I'm partial to the oval window beetles. I believe '57 was the last year for ovals. Very nice.

I always get a kick out of reading the specs for those old beetles. 35hp! Whoohoo!!! :mrgreen:

I once had a chance to buy a '57 karmann ghia (hardtop). It was an amazing deal. I think the guy wanted $3500, it was in a barn just outside Calgary. Everything perfectly original and nearly mint (a few rough edges but really quite amazing for original). Only thing that had been done to it was it had been converted from 6v to 12v. I had to pass on it; something like that really deserves a garage, unfortunately at the time I had no garage. (Soon that will change :mrgreen: )

You don't need one (on your keyboard that is). If you use alt char codes you can make do. See: --> Kübelwagen.

What you do is you hold down your alt key, and while doing so, type in (on your keypad) the number 129. Alt-129 gives you the umlaut.

Here is a page of other alt char codes....

How nice ...This was once a reefing forum and now its turned into a cars(particularly VW) forum.

[Delphinus]

This thread seemed to be good for going off on an irrelevant tangent to pad up post counts. :eek: I was just keepin' the streak alive. :biggrin:

I'm not allowed to talk about VW's??? :redface: I won't anymore, sorry. But then you have to figure out a different (irrelevant) tangent to go off on that you can use to pad YOUR post count :razz: :wink: :mrgreen:

[Aquattro]

I'm not allowed to talk about VW's??? :redface: I won't anymore, sorry.

Good. BTW, what type did you have? I had 2 bugs, damn heaters never worked. :rolleyes:

[Delphinus]

I've only had Rabbits and Passats (and I wish it was only the heater that didn't work). Oh, I guess there was a Golf GTI in there once for about a year. :rolleyes: With air-cooled I can talk the talk but I don't walk the walk.

[christyf5]

Actually the reefing forum was at the top of the other page. You must have missed it :wink:

And keeping on track with the aquarium related things in the lounge, ever seen a car turned into an aquarium?? I think it may have even been a volkswagen. I can't find the link tho. Dang.

[Quinn]

I have a Jetta. The heater is great, you can probably heat soup with it. The car has been good to me, although I had to get a new battery today.

I had a teacher in high school who drove his Thing to work.

[Delphinus]

I'm guessing one would need a LOT of silicone to seal the doors and stuff!!

[Quinn]

Maybe a project for monster garage...

[UnderWorldAquatics]

Im a VW fan too, love the real beetles 69 and older,, preferably 57 ovals and earlier... Also do the water cooled VW's, right now I have a 92 16V Gti, soon for sale, I imported a 88 VW syncro(AWD) golf from eroupe about 6 months ago, was going to fix it up real nice, but I finally found a car I have been looking for for a long time, 72 datsun 510 wagon, to go with the 70 datsun 510 2 door race car, the wagon is mint, now Im hacking it up and turning it into a hot rod, so now I am regretably selling the syncro golf... what a fun car in the snow...!!! we never got the syncro golf in north america so there is about less than a dozen in all of north america, very cool car!

[LostMind]

you imported that? what did shipping cost you!?

[Namscam]

aww man at this rate...I think I should join the race...Dont worry i ll catch up to you guys soon..I ve been here for like what 2 months and already got 200 post...thats like 100 a month..not bad..but after this thread I might just skyrocket to you guys :biggrin:

[Aquattro]

MAybe that's why they didn't work :eek:

You guys must really need posts........to be so inane and all..... :rolleyes: :razz:

Ahh this from the inventor of the totally inane posts. :razz: :mrgreen:

[BCOrchidGuy]

One of my dubs had a gas heater, I think it was a 72, it was like firing up a blow torch around your knees. As for the manifold heaters, yeah, they were bad but did anyone ever price out replacing them to get the heat??? Heck they would have cost more than I paid for any of my bugs. I often wondered though if I put an oil cooler inside the car, like in the back window or the storage/speaker box area, and put a fan on it would that keep the car warm in the cooler months... no control on it though but it was an idea.
The ovals were amazing looking cars, the split ovals.. to die for. I saw the body mod kits to turn your bug into a classic and I saw a couple cars that had them installed. Looked real good when it was done right. Anyway, dubs were a riot, cheap for parts, easy to put a new engine in, bad heaters and back seats were blooming tiny...:wink:
anywhoo...

Doug

[UnderWorldAquatics]

you imported that? what did shipping cost you!?
shipping and all the "extra" fees that I would not have incured buying a "normal" car ended up costing close to $3000canadian in the end, well worth it, too bad I need to sell it.... :frown:
there are probably less than 6 of them in all of north america
