No I don't sympathise at all, that'll teach the loon to go growing rampant mutant human eating veggies! Two minutes later I bet he was just bones! Everyone knows rampant mutant human eating veggies are trouble that's why we got complacent ones who don't complain when you pick them, wash themselves and even climb into the saucepan of boiling water without even giving so much as a dirty look in my dircetion as they plumet to their doom! biggrin

never be able to insure it Beth? Don't worry bout insurance, I got a van and a bug covered fully comp with erope wide recovery for £280 a year! It's limited mileage insurance but clocks are clockable afterall, if you attach them in the first place ubbangel



no didn't go to run to the sun bird, the only VW festival I'll have been to this year will be the one we put on over the weekend of 21st/22nd of August at the Shrewsbury agricultural ground with camping and one very impressive fire poi arteeest wink I'm doing my first proper "for other people" performance there with a fire juggler, a guy who does double diable, a fire breather and some one else I think

no seriously bird thats cuz you're probably asking normal insurers, specialists are the way to go. There's tons for classic cars and especially veedubs. I got my insurance not long after I wrote off my last bug in a one car pile up on a straight road in the middle of the night....and I kid thee not!

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourself, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous and talented? Who are you NOT to be?
