This year to mark the 60year anniversary of the Beetle Cabriolet, the invited special display at Stanford Hall will be a group of approximately 30beetles to span as many of the production years as possible and will be organised by Karl Tinsley of the Volkswagen Cabriolet Owners Club GB. I am assuming that late cars will be no problem but if you own a pre67 Kab and would like to be part of this special display, contact : karl.tinsley ( at) bt.com. This information was in the recent VWCOCGB magazine, but I am certain that non-member owners of early Kabs will be more than welcome :d :beer:

Thanks Guy's, But I'll get the surgery at april 16:cry: , so I'll be able to post here till the 15 :lol: April 8 I'll get a nother scan (PET Scan) After that scan I'll know if I need other treathments before or after the operation ( lets hope that I don't need that crap) After the operation, I have to stay atleast 3 weeks in the hospital ! So if everything go's well, I'll be in Hessisch Oldendorf :d ! I asked my doctor if that would be possible, He told me no problem as long there are no serious complications :roll:! We are thinking about building a sidecar to ET's wheelchair:shock: so he could help me a bit, I think that would be fair enough,:lol: because I'm pushing his wheelchair more then 15 years now to swapmeets and car shows :lol: ! Thanks again for the support, I need that because some day's I realy feel like crap:oops: My Close friends (Christian, ET and Swa) are supporting me very well, They are calling me atleast ones on a day , I do not like to pay Christians mobile phone bill from last month :shock: but it feels good, I'm alway's pleased if they call me ! I hope they provide me with an Internet connection so I don't get too bored in there, 3 weeks without pre67 forum:shock: :shock: , I'm not sure if I would survive that :lol: Best regards, Guido:wink:

Hey Guido, Wish you all the best and a quick recovery! But make sure I don't get any complains of the nurses, you h*rny devil!:shock: Good luck! :twisted: ET

Posted by: vintagebug - 06 April 2009 23:47:01
Guido, Good luck, we hope you'll make a very quick recovery and be with us at Hessisch- in fact you MUST come to Hessisch, PLEASE don't leave us alone there with ET!! :shock: :shock: :lol: Because I'm not going to be the one who has to pay for ET's hotel room when he leaves without paying, and I'm not going to be the one who has to fix his bed when he breaks it!! (only joking ET :wink: ) Keep your spirits up Guido, & we'll see you, Josche & ET at Hessisch. Dave & Jean
