In my opinion those are the best cars ever built. I use to have one when I was in university ... Ofcourse I fitted a 2.2 Engine (The VW Mini Bus), double carburator, Full Exhaust system, lowered suspension, bigger tires and wider arches. I was racing everybody with it and no one was able to beat me (Avg. car in Egypt was a 1.3 cc and people thing that a 2.0L engine is big ). I love those cars and with to have one of them back again and start restoring it

Hi folks,
obviousley we all have reached an age where we start to glorify the old days. My beatle was a 1303 with 55 hp. Noisy, thirsty but mine (thats the only positiv). Too hot in summer and too cold in winter. Sometimes I felt like a submarine having just a small hole in the window to drive....
... I feel cold
Glory days, and I would like to have one to. Best a convertible
:hat:

NooooooooooooooooooooooWay. It always 10 cars or more. Our trips are always very popular.iguana wrote:Well Mpenzi, Ruspotin have a Wrangler - Wild Fire Edition ... he told me that he is waiting for a trip that will have only 5 cars to join .. Don't you think that this is a joke in AD4x4 to have a trip with 5 cars only?
He will wait for a long time for that

Back to the subject, yep the old vee dub beetles are a cool classic car and pretty simple to maintain for someone with moderate mechanical knowledge and a basic tool kit. Just dont tell the Wife I said that cos she is after one of the jelly mould new ones 8O
