FrankI like old VWs and oddball old cars. Also avid cyclist. Cat slave. Dog whisperer. Naarm/Melbourne, Australia. Taker of photos. Owner of old VWs, a wee N One, and a few Haflingers.

FrankJust took Frank out for a drive and to get him a drink. And it occured to me that I got him in late December 2008 so just looked it up. Found on Ebay, won for $511, brought home Dec 20th 2008. Looking like this.
Previous owner's mum had been in a crash, the rear beam was bent. Wheel was dug into the side and needed crowbarring to drive him from tow truck to home.

Lovely weather. 25, cool breeze, very nice.
Last Sunday was the annual VW show. Thunderstorms, high winds and rain predicted. 🤦♂️
Followed this Karmann Ghia part of the way there.

FrankFinished sorting the photos from Sunday's Cars & Coffee. We turned up at 7:30am thinking it's half an hour before the start, will they let us in. Well it was packed already. If we'd waited much longer, we would not have gotten in.
To kick off what will be a very long thread, Harry with his new tiny truck mates.

FrankWent to Calder Park yesterday, where the THUNDERDOME is!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calder_Park_Raceway
It hosts drag racing and other motorsports, and also the occasional car show.
This one was the annual (or semi annual, I am not entirely sure) German Car Show. We went to it in 2021 when it was at Sandown raceway.
German cars? I am there!

FrankSix-Wheel Clio Pickup? That’s Not Even the Weirdest Car in This No-Reserve Renault Heritage Auction
Sure, you'd have to ship the cars back to the States, but where else are you going to get something so strange?
