WOW
have you ever put a lot of time, energy, and of course money into that little buggie of yours!
Good for you!
It looks great!
Hey have you given it a name? I know that it is kinda a stupid to name a metal object that gets you from point A to point B, but I always found it kinda fun to name our vehicles (I know, I know )
I also love the colour, my fav saphire blue!

You sure have put alot of hard work into it Sam.

Did you manage to find reasonable insurance?

Schway Nice , An Old School Saying for an old School Car.

Hope yo enjoy cruising in your Bug.

 

[Samage]

This car is a total waste of time and money.

I totally hate it. And I can't replace it just now.




I think I'm gonna go renew my bus pass....

 

[Stagette]

Car problems then? You made a lovely job of the bug you really should take it to the VW shows as its lovely and i'm sure you would win some prizes with it and if not you should be proud and show it off! I love the old beetles now as i've been dragged to that many VW shows i've learnt to appreciate them

 

[Puffer_freak]

You don't like it? It's gorgeous! And you made it gorgeous! You've just got to remember that!

Don't worry, be happy.

 

[Samage]

I like it WHEN IT GOES.

Unfortunately, that's not very often

Welcome to the world of air-cooled VW bugs and UK weather

(why do you think they sold really well in mexico?)

 

[Samage]

Because Mexicans are gullible?

 

[Samage]

Well, a few months down the line, me and my Dub have overcome our differences and I'm enjoying driving it. We're gonna do all the shows this year! Here's some pics of it after a wash...
