Hi, Im Kathy, Im a newbie and drive a 1600 Black Beetle. I live in Pretoria with hubby and kids, and share my house with 5 dogs, 2 cats and 8 horses. My hubby hates my car but I love it. Not much else I can say, just that I am learning each day something goes wrong on car how to fix it.

Hi All, Im new. I live in Pretoria and we have a 1600 Volkswagen 71 Beetle colour black. My husband hates the car but I love it. That car goes where other cars cant. It needs some work, but as I get money I will have things fixed. We live in Pretoria.

Hi thanks all.
I dont have pics of my car. It looks terrible. I have just come back from the garage as the fan belt came off this morning. But I will see next weekend if I can take some pics. Just note the bumper is temporarily fixed with rope. (I rode into the neighbours fence) we live on a smallholding and I wasnt looking where I was going. Quick question, why arent there beetle get togethers on the northern side of Pretoria?

Hi, I live in KwaZulu Natal and own a 1972 VW Beetle 1300. I joined this group because I am REALLY deperate for help on little niggling issues that my beetle has, like the best way to reattach those side metal things (I don;t even know what they're called!) and where to get a fuel cap that locks (I need serious help with this one because I think fuel is going missing). I recently redid the exhausts and had her resprayed and now she is looking good as new.
