For the first time since 1977 I no longer own a Boxer.
My 1967 /2 conversion
Is in the ferry line up with it's new owner and on it's way to Vancouver Wa.
I still
am have an airhead, my 1957 R26 seen below. Hopefully I'm still allowed to post my
wise assed wisdom filled comments here.

I don't have an airhead anymore and they still let me post, if I behave myself. I do still have a boxer engine though.

Hell, they almost begged me to come back.
edit: I am sorry for your loss. I never should have let my conversion go.

Gidday Fellas,
Garnet, same here mate, I'm boxerless and airless but now unfashionably labelled an "oilhead'' which has a nice ring to it I suppose.
Cheers, Grant

I wouldn't mind an R27 , it would be quite enough for me.

It would be ashame if simply outgrowing airheads got you thrown out of the club. It would be like have a max IQ threshold that we couldn't tolerate.

Well that bar is already set pretty low.
Maybe there is a future.

But we need an I.T. guy.
And yes I know I will regret this.
