THE KOMBI KONNECTION

Thought I spotted it on Sunday but at a second look, it did not have the chrome trim on the side, instead it was a red and black go faster stripe..... Crying or Very sad

Had thoughts of what was I to do (block it in) and call the cops! I was thinking of you.

Will keep looking.......

It is likely that the kombi has already been disguised... so ignore the differences - look at the similarities. Smile

MY BELOVED BIG BLUE BUS HAS BEEN FOUND!
The police contacted me this morning - it had been parked up on a verge in a side street in Midland for the past 12 days!
Steering column has been broken open (wires exposed) and the ignition attacked with I presume a screwdriver. CD/Radio gone but nothing else (that I could see). It has been towed to the insurance assessors and I'll be notified when they have had a look. Hopefully I can then get it to Mr Langs for him to do the repairs (and get that service that it was booked in for 2 weeks ago).
I'M SO EXCITED AND GRATEFUL TO ALL YOU FOLKS WHO SPREAD THE WORD, GAVE ME MORAL SUPPORT WHEN I NEEDED IT AND LOTS OF GREAT ADVISE. I WON'T FORGET IT.
THANK YOU ALL!

CONGRATULATIONS

Now we have a happier Kombi owner- once it's on the road you had better start planning for Muresk. Smile

It's a blessing that they weren't "real kombi thieves" and abandoned it after what seems like a short while.

Alice once bought a car that blew a head gasket on it's trip home... after we saw it off on a truck, we went to catch a train home - only to find we'd missed the last one for the night. A rather dodgy-looking man came over to us and chatted, it turned out he had just got out of prison... he was stranded too - so he headed off to the nearby pokies venue to "borrow" a car to get home! (we hailed a taxi). It may be that something similar happened here (if it wasn't a joyrider) - it's fortunate that it wasn't stolen for parts or rebirthing.

This is the best news for a while, I am quite chuffed it turned out so well (apart from the minor damage)... Keep smiling. Smile
