Newbie (Ex pat) from France.

Hi everyone,
just a quick hello from sunny (well raining at the moment) south west france. Been into the vw scene for a while now having had a '72 bay window & a '65 custom splitty, when we moved out here 5 years ago from near Burnley in Lancs the only way to go was a cabby, so bought a pristine '91 clipper 8) . That was before our son got his hands on it (18yo) Anyway that aside we decided to get it out of the barn do the repairs!! new wheels, shocks, roof etc, and get it ready for Bugjam!(we cant wait). Will post some pics when it stops raining.
Looking forward to chating with you all.
Cheers,
Frenchcabby.

Still raining here (move to france eh!), just joined the club as a member so did some stickers for the cabby (got a vinyl cutter), what i will do for members who are going to bug jam is cut there forum names for them for free, we'll meet up on the friday night and i'll give them out (if anyone wants one of course).
