Welcome to the H.A.M.B.! From another Tennessean. I'm a fairly new member here too and found lots of great info and advice. I was in your fair town back in 09. (for the Americans, it's pronounced noo-kee not noo-kway - I learned that from Ground Force TV show) We spent 3 weeks touring England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland. Would you happen to know this guy? I think this was Newquay. There is/was a "Cars of the Stars" museum just up (literally up) the road from where these were taken. Did he get done without getting squashed? Nice run of V-dubs you had/have there. I especially like the Karmann Ghias. Good luck on the F1.
No I don't know that guy, I've only lived in Newquay for a couple of years I'm pretty sure he must be known though
I love your previous VW, especially the Kabriolet (I would have to had a new roof thou) and low light ghia
