I just came across these on the web. Obviously unauthorized and way too expensive but neat anyway...

Well I'm no expert on T shirt design Dave, but apart from being far too expensive, there don't seem to be too much thought that went into its design IMO,, looks more like a cutting out of a VW mag thats just been stuck on a shirt. What a bloody rip off!.

Dave, I know about the cool looking buggy and where the T shirt guy got the pic from, that was not the issue, its just at ?31 for such a plain looking design seemed a bit excessive to me. Bit like the ?60 Manx hood badge I saw for sale the other day,, sorry if I come across sounding grumpy mate, but there's one thing that really pisses me off and thats money grabbing rip off merchants and they seem to be springing up all over the place now days.

He bought loads off thesamba when they weren't in such demand, if you ever asked Rob about badges he pointed you in his direction. The sad thing is someone will buy that but if you've got a genuine Meyers Manx Winnie will sell you one for 1/6 the price he's asking. It pissed me off when a few days after B&W left Australia last year autographed Hot Wheels Manxes started popping up on Australian eBay...money grabbing w*nk*rs!!! Moan over!!!
