Hello I am new to Germany and have moved to Gutersloh, I work for BFBS Radio and love the VW Bus.
Mine is called Murtle she is a 76 original Westy with OG paint and interior and the engine is the original 2.0 FI.
I hope to meet others around this area soon.

Hey Dave! Welcome to this place and I have to admit that I really love BFBS. Used to listen to your station in my teenage days since my parents come from Bielefeld :) if you have any questions about the bus and all other stuff feel free to ask!

First you click on "antworten". Then there's below the text box a tab called "dateianhang hochladen". Click on this one. After this click on the oval button called "datei auswählen", here you can select the file you want to upload. When you're finished click on the button "datei hinzufügen" which means attach the file. Finally click on "absenden".

Hope you can follow :D

Hi Dave,
very warm welcome. Congratulation, nice Westy in good condition do you have. I´m also from Gütersloh. My 1969 Syro Camper is still at the paintshop. Hope to make the first test drive these year. Feel free to ask if you have questions.

Greeting, Andreas

Hi Dave,

BFBS is still existing :surprised:? I grew up in Hanover and at that time BFBS was the only radiostation you could listen to. Ok, that was a few years ago. A few more years, around 50! But I'm glad to hear that something out of that era has survived.

Welcome here.

Wolfgang

Hi Dave,
… also a very warm welcome from my side. Believe it or not, I'm still listening to BFBS Radio daily. Will I hear you on the Radio or are you are working in the background? This Radio Station has improved my English since I was a young lad and that helped a lot on work and during the holidays on the Main Island and IOM. Nice memories, terrible good radio! :mrgreen:
Fine Westy, the colour I like the most, but I’m wondering why you have got a left-hand drive bus.
Cheers :bier:

Thanks for the warm welcome.

Yes BFBS is still going strong in Germany, we are moving when the British Army leave Germany but in maybe another 5 years time, I am a Presenter so you will hear me form time to time.

My Bus came with me from Canada so it is a Left Hand Drive, never been welded and has the Original everything paint, carpets and interior too, still on the same Engine and Gearbox that was fitted to it in the Factory back in 1976.
