taking delivery - 61 bug eye

[dosedtoaster]

Hi all,

I'm at home from the office this moring waiting for DAS to drop by with my new to me 61 bug eye.

It's a full restoration. Will be interesting in peicing together the history of the car, details and pictures to follow.

Great forum you have here.

Excellent, and welcome! Nothing like the car fairy dropping by with a Bugeye.

As Trevor said, we're suckers for pictures. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

Yes, yes...Nice to have the car fairy drop one off... a fully restored one too!!! Congratulations and welcome to the club! Don't take too long with pix.

 

[Sarastro]

Did anyone say, please post some pictures? If not, please post some pictures.

And, welcome! This is a fine group. I'm continually pleased to see how helpful and knowledgeable this gang is. I've learned quite a lot here.

Hey, I would like to see some pics too.

Of course the delivery was late! Inspected & rolled off the truck, checked fluids, pulled the starter button, two loops around the block, parked in the garage(where i spent last weekend making room) then mad dash to the office. Will try and get some pics online tonight.

Happy lil thing that bug eye.

Er...

I think the members are asking for ... dare I say it ... pictures.

We have some very volatile characters on this board, I think you need to give serious consideration to fulfilling their deep and abiding need for pictures.

I dread to think what otherwise might transpire...

Congrats on your newly arrived Bugeye. Nice to hear it made it safe and sound. Even got a quick trip around the block. Happy days! /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif

Congrats! heck with work, get us some pics :-]

 

[healeyboz]

The insanity!! How could anyone go to work after just recieving a newly restored bugeye?

 

[drooartz]

I brought mine home on a Sunday evening (3-day drive to San Diego and back) and then had to leave town for 3 days. I can feel your pain -- hard to concentrate at work when you've got a new friend at home!

 

[ncbugeye]

When I brought mine home, I drove just slightly over 3 miles.

 

[dosedtoaster]

pictures! (not great, daylight pictures this weekend)

driving report tomorrow...

I saw those, beautiful she is. For goodness sake get those bikes away from her. hehe.

 

[dosedtoaster]

the amount of junk i had to toss to make room was astonishing. sadly, the bikes didn't fall into that category...

[ncbugeye]

Very nice and clean. Much cleaner under the bonnet than ncbugeye. Clearly I have work to do...

I like the matching red dash...

 

[bugimike]
