Re: My 57 and 59 Beetles
I don't like that Oval one bit! I think you should get rid of it.
Just so happens that I do have space for it

Re: My 57 and 59 Beetles
Snyx, I will get rid of any of my other ACVW's but that one is very special. My father in law bought it brand new from Lindsay Saker in Krugersdorp when he was a first year student at Potch. In the sixties he sold it to his aunt, (my wife's Grandmother's sister) She is still alive at 93 years of age. I bought the car from her in 1996 after her husband died.
I always joke and say that I had to marry a women to get the bug.

Re: My 57 and 59 Beetles
i can imagine the attention: "shame, look at that poor person in that shamefull thing"
he should sell that and get a Dacia bakkie instead, to increase his street cred. He should give it to that MINCE guy, I hear he is a lovely man"

Re: My 57 and 59 Beetles
Mince, I still don't know what you will do with it!!
In the mean time I'm enjoying it and the people that think that old VW's are yesterday, watch me in the next ten years, they will just become older and older and more collectible by the day.

Re: My 57 and 59 Beetles
Mince..I offered to take that piece of sh1t before you did! Stay out of my sh1t!
Rudi, I would marry a 93 year old woman for that car. Not that I want it, just to save nice people like you and her from driving it. I would slam it to the ground (by taking the wheels off) and place it in the creche's sandpit for the kids to play in and on.
