When my bug was for sale people would say "how much you want for it" expecting about £300, when i said £2000 they thought i was having a laugh!
When i told people i was getting a new camper i got "Oh cool, one of the split window ones?" quite a bit :lol:
And there is always the usual "Is that thing road leagal?" or in my bug "Are your back wheels supposed to be like that?"
:lol:

I've had;
"Why is it so close to the ground?"
"So what colour are you going to paint it?" or "It'll look nice with a re-spray"
"Should be worth a few quid when it's finished"
"I had one, put a standard 1900 engine from a Variant in it. Pulled wheelies it did!"
"You can get new ones you know, made in Brazil but look just the same. Would save all that work fixing it up."
But the one that used to make me want to stick an axe in their head was,
"Are you doing it up?"
Now I just say "Read the back window"
It says; 'If I have to explain, you wouldn't understand'
Thanks for making that for me Uber Cool!!!

I love the guy on samba.com who when asked "What year is it?"
checks his watch and says "(insert current year eg 2009 here)"
:lol:

Ah, that reminds me of a fella I bumped into at the Whitenoise/Alldubz event this year. Seems he was selling his late Beetle and looking for a Bus. "Been offered a '66 bus, D reg, immaculate original paint, camper interior, like new inside. £4500 the bloke wants. It's parked in the car park near the entrance, would you have a look to see what you think?"
So I'm thinking if it's true I'll tell him it's crap and have it myself!!!
Of course what we find is an '86 D plate T25...... "But I thought D reg was 1966" says the chap, completely ignoring the fact that it looks nothing like a Splitty!!!

A girl i'm friends with asked where is the engine, when i said in the back she replied with where is the boot then? :roll:
Some bloke asked are the pedals the other way round because the steering wheel is on the left?
Guy at work, how many times have you done the deed in the back? I thought :| F**k off

I often get "I used to have a kombi, wish i still had one". Well sell your ford and get one!
When i'm filling up my early Fastback (bonnet up)....."you won't get far in that (with no motor)" :character0036:
I've just sold a Late Bay for a Early Bay....."Are you going to sell this one when the Split's done?" hmm good question. People don't understand when i say "i think i prefer this one".

most questions where posted before. some others i often hear is:
ist der überladen / is it overloaded
ist der tiefergelegt? / is it lowered (Why do they ask if they see it)
was kostet der denn / what´s the price (NO! i don´t wan´t to sell it)
wieviel verbraucht der denn / how much gas does it need? (does this matter?)
mein Nachbar hat auch einen mit Porschemotor / my neighbor has one with porsche motor in the garage (so there must be 100000s left)
ich hatte auch so einen, einen Diesel / i also had one - it was a diesel
there are so many stoopid questions cannot count it.
greetings alex

Just last night......in the pub with my mate and he goes.....
'I saw an advert in the Sunday Times :evil: and thought of you...'
'Did you know they are still making these new, some company imports them, water cooled, so that's better right?'
'And their all in, done, converted to camper for £24k'
'How much do reckon you'll have spent on yours when it's done....? ha ha, you could've had a new one.'
He's a really good friend, we have a great laugh and I really like him, but I was somewhat disappointed?! :roll:
