Long time since I have been called a noob, Have owned various air cooled Veedubs over the years. That anti spam question had me confused, I tried Kewer, BosPadda, Beetle before I thought of the real answer, My current ride is an early wedge with the air cooled motor, It's also my current project. Anyone have a spare 2.0l motor in running condition lying about that they don't want me to hock my legs and arms for, feel free to contact me.

Good evening ladies and gentleman. My name is Owen. Bugs and busses have been in my family for years but alas havent had either in ages. Finally bought a "76" and can not wait to start. These forums are really interesting and I am already getting laser eyed from the GF, wait until i tell her, that her car has to now sleep out side in the rain :o .

Again thank you.

Hello everybody! My name is Bernie and I'm far away in Germany, living there. :wink: I'm 43 and since my grandma had a '61 beetle, i was infected by the virus. I had serveral peices of junk but always loved them and treated them well. There also were some modified bugs, one with a Ford V4 and one with a Alfa Romeo flat 4 adapted. Now i got one from your nice country and therefore i joined this forum. I'm quite nosy about how in other countries "the virus" is doing his work! :mrgreen: See ya!

Hi all.
My name is Gerhard and join the site due to buying some work in the form of a Single cab slit pick up.
My son whanted this for his transport of MX bikes to the track.
We will be doing a lot of restoration in the next 18 months until he gets him license.
I also have my first car ready for some love from him - a 76 beetle.
Attached find current photos of the two vw's.
