Anyone own one? or owned one?
I'm thinking of getting one, fairly soon. They've got style, just after opinions really, I currently drive a 205 diesel ( with flames ) but i'm bored of it.

My mate has a 1600 VW Bug. one of the REALLY early modles.
I had a 1300 mini.
The mini still kicked the shit outa the bug in all aspects of speed etc. but the bug was HUGE and (imo) had superior charactor over my mini. Although some people preferd the mini.
With them being flat 4 engines, and air cooled, theres not alot can go wrong with them.
And as the saying goes in Herbie.
"look after it, and it'l live forever!".
And its true, mates beetle is what? probably 35 years old? ok, the engines on its last legs, and the startermotor only works when it wants to. But its STILL going, and still the origional running gear.
The few downsides are,
They are very loud, motorway driving sucks. (Just like my mini).
They top out at about 80. (down hill)
They are leaded, so addative is needed.
They absoloutly KANE petrol! ____________________ - Honda XL125S - CBR400 NC29 - VFR400 NC30 - CBR400 NC29 - TL1000R - TeeZeR Pit! - Bandit 12 - YZF450 - LuckyMX125 Pit! - Demon X XLR 140 Pit!

Old Thread Alert!
The last post was made 18 years, 10 days ago. Instead of replying here, would creating a new thread be more useful? |
