Default Love Bugs Parade

To celebrate Valentines Day tomorrow, 14/02/2011, a special GTG has been organized in our capital, Brussels.
Only 100 bugs and beetles were allowed.

The weather was ok, though quite cold. After gathering, we went all for a drive through the busy center of Brussels.
A first stop at the royal palace made traffic quite difficult

Please enjoy!

(the green 1970 automatic bug is mine)

Yes, thanks for the pics. I really enjoyed them. What is that old school looking Karmin Gia that had dual headlights?

This is actually one of the first bugs. I tink he dates from 1935 or so. In fact, it's a replica. They used these for testing the engine etc...

I remember reading about the concept cars looking like this and the first productions with this styling.

I was curious to know if there was a photo of the engine cover open or the inside of the car looking towards the back, those type of pictures.

Always love your GTG pictures Tommy!!! My wife and I constantly threaten Marcia (mazzzja) with a visit when we retire. We'll have to coincide it with one of your GTG's. The replica of a prototype bug had me at first. I have only seen them in museum settings and in print.
