A strokey beard meeting at the Beetle engine. Turns out one of the previous owners had done many a bizarre thing to it. They even found a stretched out wire coathanger shoved in there!
George has special powers. One of me mates ran Beetles for years, and George, who lives under the arches at Newcastle station, kept those things running long beyond their natural lifespan. Long beyond.
See Alternet or a brief run down under one of your pictures. Got crashed into, laughed at by police, saw the dead comedian John Belushi driving an old VW camper van whilst wearing a fez, got the old engine nicked and much more. Surprisingly I'm alive too :)
