Hi Guys and Gals,

I've been an in the closet bug lover for a while now and have finally decided to come out of the closet due to my latest purchase.

1st bug was an inherited Yellow 77 SP, and recently i found a 68 import on a small holding. She is beautiful!

Work in Progress! :D

Hi , My name is Nicholas and I am a Beetlholic! LOL
Seriously though , I love my Beetles and all of the flat four family, I own two Beetles one is a 1958 and the other a 1956 Oval. My first Beetle was a 1964 and that was the one that changed me forever. My wife does'nt want to drive anything else and I do not blame her, we met when I drove my first Beetle.
I have dabbled into the many styles eg. Cal,Resto and German, but I just as many other enthusiasts are trying to restore my own dream car. I have tried different engine setups and it has been a true love story with all the drama.
I have been travelling for the past 5 years and pit stopping in SA to spend a little time with my Bugs and road trip along the coast.
I am now returning back to SA and cant wait to see my Cars!

Welcome newbies and enjoy your stay. And what Hloni means is if we can't see the pics, it just isn't true! :mrgreen:

I think Eben needs to alter the welcome email, and add IF YOU DONT POST PICTURES AFTER YOU INTRODUCE YOURSELF, YOUR RIDE DOES'NT EXSIST.
