Hi there,
I am new to TheSamba and thought I'd post a quick hi there and introduce myself.
I am Ian and live in the UK with my partner and our 2 yr old daughter. We have had a number of VW's and at present we look after a 1963 Beetle. We have modified it gently so far, dropping the front, adding T's and the usual Cal stuff. In the longer term we're going for speed, but for now there's a 1600 TP nesting out back and providing a little more oomph than the standard 1200.
So for now, that's us. Looking forward to many happy hours on TheSamba
Ian

Sweet. Anthracite grey is a sweet color.

Guys, thank you for the warm welcome and the kind words. It is really great to be able to finally post some "road" shots rather than the frustration of "garage" pictures 
I hope that I can be a positive contributor to the forums and look forward to some interesting discussions ahead 
Thanks
Ian |
