Advantages: No tax, cheap on insurance Disadvantages: No seat belts at rear
Ok you VW fans out there, I am going to tell you about my lovely 1969 beetle called Bluebell.
I have always wanted one ever since I went to the vw festival in Margam park last year (2006) after seeing all the bugs and camper vans I fell in love.
My dear husband said that if I was to sell my car I could have one for my 30th birthday, so I put my car on eBay and sold it straight away, then we had a look in the free ads and came across a bug and phoned ... ...made our way to Cardiff and law and behold we got lost (typical husband) by this time it was getting really late and concerned that the bloke might not appreciate us going to see it so late, but he was a very nice and agreed to meet us in a shopping park.
We didn’t wait too long when we heard a loud noise coming from the distance, it was music to my ears, as it came closer I could see it, it was MY BUG .
I couldn’t have been more thrilled, it was ...

Advantages: Great fun, a classic worth experiencing Disadvantages: Needs maintenance, not easy to use as a daily driver
...I wouldn't recommend a classic volkswagen to someone who doesn't know or good mechanic or works on cars themselves as they do need constant maintenance, but parts are good value and readily available. I defied everyone who said you couldnt run a vw beetle as an everyday car, I frequently drove 200 mile journeys and she ran like a dream at 70mph. It taught me a lot about driving i now feel much more competent as you have to have very good observations ...

Advantages: MADE TO MEASURE Disadvantages: Long way from home
I come from both england and africa i have recently just come back and me and a friend have bought two 70's beetles for resail in the uk.I live in the south west and want to know where is the nearest port to import to.
I also am trying to find out if classic beetle owners would prefer a car made to measure, for instance choice of coulors ,wheels etc maybe engine tunes that they could order to go straight to them when it arrives in the uk.?
pls ... ...question as these cars are for sale but not in the country yet on abfagunwa@yahoo.co.uk
there is a great store of vw beetles in west africa and i am collecting data for business plan/research. BEETLES MADE TO MEASURE/ORDER THATS MY PLAN.
All the best and thanks for reading hope to hear from you soon. ...

Advantages: The stares from onlookers! Disadvantages: Typical Beetle oil leak
My boyfriend has owned a Beetle since may.
To begin with it was a rusted heap, which you could put your feet through it was so rusty, but a steal at £390!
A £1000 later and all fixed, but typical of a 72 car, it ran on oil. 2 Garage visits later and finally it runs (but misfires!)
The interior is amazing, confortable spring seats with leather covers, feet in the bonnet and Quarter lights provide the best air conditioning you ever need.
I'd say ...
