VW beetle.
Today, when I went to the Lowe's store, I saw an old VW beetle car
pulling out of the parking lot.I think it was a 1962 or 1963 model.It was being driven by an elderly gentleman.Good to see those aircooled VWs are still getting around. cuhulin |

Your,re right!. There is an old couple "putting" (as in putt putt) around
where I live who bought their present beetle back in 1956 in Victoria . Curiously, they lived and worked at the time in the same army camp where we lived. Beetle has that original dark grey enamel that looks an inch deep. I have taken it as an omen that the car and I are obviously meant for each other. Just got to broach the subject with the missus!

When I got started with them in 1996 it was still common to see one or two a day. Now a days, I'm lucky to see one a week. Mine sleeps in the garage most of the time these days. I used it as a daily driver up until a few years ago, but from my perspective it is getting far too hard to find parts, new or used, that are actually worth installing anymore. Chris |

Your,re right about parts Chris. Dont know about engine bits etc but the
smaller items ie door seals, ignition switches, bumpers etc etc are simply garbage. Unless I can find genuine bits I try to recondition rather than replace. John |
