Good day members

awesome site/forum

My name is Suman...I am an aircooled addict, until only recently managed to get my hands on 1958 Beetle, which needs alllot of work, but need to get this baby restored to its former glory

my everyday driver is a BMW f30 (don't delete me of the site lol)

have a massive amount of friends who are VW fanatics and heavily on the tuning scene, recently persuaded them to be cool...aircooled...

looking forward to all the help and discussions

regards Suman

Hi, and welcome Suman, and all other newbys, all aircooled addicts are welcome and totally among fellow vw junkies.

The thing about the BMW..... well, we will make as if we did not see that, as I am sure its a type-o

Open a project thread, and lets hear and see it all happen in lots of posts.

Yea, we have a forum sub section dedicated to BMW drivers... commonly known as the joke section

Welcome all

New member without any Aircooled vehicle....soon though! Untill I own one, I'll be browsing and familiarize myself with terms and do's/don't.

I'm active on a couple of forums, hope to meet some familiar names here too!

Good morning!

I am Ewald. I am new on this forum, but not new to Beetles.

In fact- my grandmother bought my 1968 1500 brand new, when I was 1 year old. I know this car my whole life long. I inherited it when my grandmother died in 1985.

Since new it has only done 89000 km. But it stood in the wind and rain a lot. And now I am busy restoring it to pass it on to my son, the 4th generation of our family who will drive it.

Awesome story Ewald

Open up your own thread and post plenty pictures, especially of the cars history, we all love that sort of thing...

Hi my name is Gas i am new in the aircooled game, just bought a 71 beetle not in a bad shape but need some restoring.
Nice forum

Hello everyone!

I register to this forum to study the differences and specifics of the south african bay window models.

At my German websites you will find a lot of brochures and documents online - as well two south africans till now:
