Owned in the past. Slow unless you highly tune it, cold if the heater channels are rusted and wet if some ones wielded the floor/heater channels without unbolting the body from the floor.
However good memories of the ones I owned. |

Well, my friend from DSRLeasing bought one for his wife. I have only driven it once when she was driving us home from a party. Seems like a comfortable car, but pretty slow - didn't pay attention to details as I was very, very drunk

Doesn't matter. Been told on no uncertain terms:- no more cars!
Shame, as I was extremely tempted by this, and only down the road too. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/classic-19...53.m1438.l2649 |

Beetles are ace! However there are a hell of a lot of tarted up basket cases out there so you have to be very, very careful indeed. The MOT history on this one alone says avoid to me and I don't know what's going on with those mutant front wings I think piranz is in love with him |
