We have owned a VW for about 12 years, Bumble is our third and we have had her around 6 years, we drove to Scotland in Bumble when we moved and it was running great, then I left it a few weeks and the battery went flat but after buying a new battery, off it chugged than the MOT had run out so we left it again, I since took it to a garage and they said it only needed new brake's and some welding on the chasis, that was in August and we promised a local friend he could drive it up to Loch Lommond and we would treat him to a meal and I was going to England for Christmas in it laden with bit and bobs and some homemade bramble and apple pies but of course it is still in the garage, I am a bit peeved but cannot do much about it now as I don't suppose it will run and I don't know anyone w
else close to take those jobs on, more of a problem is our savings put aside to get it done are depleting!!!!! I shall be realy happy when I get it back, it was named Bumble, due to the colour's, by a friend, anyway, I realy hope to get in some good foraging, most days I come back with stuff for the chickens and I have places earmarked already for Raspberries, Brambles and Strawberries as well as wild Garlic and other herbs, well I am rambling on a bit but carn't waite to get started properly, Sandy...has your VW a name?
