I'm checking in every 20 minutes maybe, always a few new posts, as you say there was a bit of a slump a few weeks/months ago when over a day could go past, and then when something did turn up it was just Ovaltine bitching about the VW38.

Loving it. :beer:

Its great that it's humming along.

Yes that's a shame,but people have left over the years for all sorts of reasons.
One even, because someone posted a picture of a Kublewagen that also showed a Swastika.
They may return after they see how things are picking up.Or maybe it's like E.T he doesn't come out of hibernation until the end of March.

I think you are taking it too literally, I found it funny for an entirely different reason, not at all to do with who it was aimed at originally.( I think probably in the same way as Gertie)
It is just a funny statement thats all :d

Rattletrap's taken a battering at some time or another, worst of all from a 10 ton truck in 1990.:cry:

He just comes back for more though....:mellow:

It's odd - if you walked into a pub, sat down at someone's conversation and started saying some of the things that get said on forums (all forums, not just this one) I don't think it would take long before people told you to f off or worse, yet some people think that because its online and if no one knows your real identity that for some reason things are different, then feel all hard done by when people react badly.

Strange people, George. We all know the horrors of Nazism. If someone is so offended by the swastika, appearing on a vintage VW site, then why are the messing in the world of vintage VWs (which is basically the KdF Wagen). One of the most fascinating images of the early Beetle is that of Hitler presenting his new 'People's Car' to the people. And there are swastikas everywhere.:mellow:

Can I just say that Ive been on here for a number of years and have 'Lurked' but never posted as I havent had much to say ,But I do enjoy th site very much and I do love the banter. I think pre67vw has a very good point about pub conversations etc . Im really enjoying this site now and I cant see myself leaving even if mildly offended by Ovaltine 😛 😛

KT

P.s There are others that are strongly opinionated on this forum BUT thats what makes it a good informed place to be :lol:

Every other post seems to be about Ovaltine lately – there must be more interesting subjects to discuss on a Vintage VW site. 😶

I was thinking of starting an Ovaltine fan club!

We 70s Beetle owners must stick together.

Oops another Ovaltine post.
