New Beetle and some others

Post by jolas »

Spotted at a wine farm in Stellenbosch today - VWSA arranged for some journalists to test drive the new Beetle - they were ferried from the airport to the venue in the better Beetles :twisted:

I think if he knew that the beetle had a name, "Ruby-Rose", he would have reconsidered driving it :lol: The taming of the shrew ? :lol:

Not quite the "Darkside" or "Tie Fighter" :zhelp:

Thanks again for the help Leroy

I like the 21Century Beetle. Its the one VW should have launched 10yrs ago. The interior is sweet but the head room is lacking. I like the "Fuks" style rims...

i see yellow and blue bugs, but the VWSA site only lists the boring white/silver/grey/black colours and a horrid brown...
i'll have rising blue, some coilovers and some choice wheels from OZ...
