Hello again Graham,

The Standard 10 you saw is well known to me. It belongs to a young guy called Martin Jennings.

He is a member of the Standard Motor Club and Cotswold Classic Car Club, that I am actively involved with.

Best regards,

Richard

Hello Dubpounders,

Tirpitz finally sold on eBay for £1024 to a guy in London.

This was the price I was hoping for.

Hopefully he will pick it up on Saturday Sad

Will I miss him? Smile

Best regards,

Richard

Hello Adam,

I think that I will miss Tirpitz. It never let me down once in the time I had it.

Also it took me to Cornwall twice (including last year's run to the sun) and loads of VW shows and club meetings.

The best part of owning a Beetle is the friends that you make by having one.

Are we still holding meetings at the Air Balloon on the 3rd Sunday of each month? If so, I make it this Sunday (17th May).

Please let me know and I will come along. The Passat will not be the same - perhaps I will bring my XR3i, which although is the "wrong make" is much more fun.

I hope to see you all soon,

Best regards,

Richard

Hello Dubpounders,

Tirpitz was collected by the eBay buyer yesterday afternoon.

He was a young guy from New Zealand who intends driving it around the UK and possibly Europe. As he is partly though a 5 year work visa here, he reckons he will take it back to New Zealand with him in a couple of years time. I wish him good luck.

He came down on the train and drove the car back to his home in London. I received a text from him saying that the car purred along and got him home with no problems. Tirpitz never missed a beat in the 3 years that I owned him, so I was not surprised.

How long does it take for the severe air-cooled withdrawal symptoms to kick in?

Best regards,

Richard

youll see one out and about, start thinkin....i never should have sold mine! foam at the mouth, start getting the jitters, and eventually end up buying another one, much shitter than the one youve sold, for more money, and spend the rest of the day thinking...why the hell did i buy this!

Thanks for the warning George!

Driving the Passat to work is not the same!

Best regards,

Richard
