Thanks for your kind words

My car is almost original -without big mods- so I´m trying to find something else to catch the eye...

[SixChuter]

I really like the stance. Have you dropped the front more than the rear? Your car needs no more mods. It is just "right" in my book.

Oh, thank you very much!

The Blue one is my first car, and I´m trying hard to keep it alive It isn´t a "showroom car", if we talk about the condition of it, but I will keep on trying to fix it better little by little

I have always dreamed of New Beetle. And finally 2,5 years ago
I managed to buy one; I have been happy since (to my car)

I hope that you could get another Bug for you someday!
Wishes may come true...

I haven´t done anything to the suspension. It was like that when I bought it. I suppose that my car has still it´s original struts and shocks...
The ground clearance is quite near to the stock height (9 cms),maybe little bit less now (because those parts are getting old).

Thanks again I´m not planning to do any more "mods".
My summer rims are not stock and I have painted those winter steelies; that´s quite enough for me

But I really enjoy to browse around here at the org and seek interesting, modded Beetles like yours (which I like very much!)

You make me blush

Yes, old Beetles are quite easy to repair; it is a good car to start with, if person is not very experienced with cars. I wasn´t very skilled when I bought it, but I learned soon to take care of it. And in addition to that, I got also good advices; my brother helped me at the start. He used to have 2 Beetles, when I was a kid, so he knew, what to do. I am very thankful to him And he will still help me if I need a hand... Thanks my dear Bro!

Another good point is that you can easily find parts for it. And parts aren´t very expensive.


Keep on believing your dream. But you must be patient... It took 10 years for me to get NB, which I had dreamed of

I am sure, your brother can fix Old Beetle also. It is only a question of attitude, like you said

Comparing to Chevy, many mechanical things of Beetle may seem like very odd. But people should keep in mind, what are the origins of a Beetle... It was designed to be cheap but still reliable. And that basic concept is very old; Ferdinand Porsche
started to design Volkswagen in mid 1930´s

That color is a good one! It is original tone for my car; I have painted it myself, but I used original color then (Diamond Blue).

Well, actually I like almost every color on a Beetle

Thank you

Yes, I like very much both of my cars. When I drive my old(er) one, it really feels like I´m inside in a time machine...

And when I jump to my New Beetle, it´s "Back to the Future" again

This weekend I visited in a VW-swap meeting.
Some of our local VW-club´s members were also there.

It was cold weather to drive a Cabrio; we had -17 degrees of celsius then (1 degrees of Fahrenheits)

Here´s pics of my friend´s Old Cabriolet; he has also NBC

Thanks Jartza for your kind words

Yeah, it isn´t always a pleasure to drive on roads filled with
salt... Car gets dirty all the time and rust. But I can´t help it; this Bug takes care of my daily transportation

I saw chocolate New Beetle in Baby Sallie´s thread.
Then I remembered that also I have a chocolate Beetle.

Normally I store it in my fridge; I just took it out to take some pics of it and put it in to my model car shelf.

Oh, I don´t want to tell, how old it is, because it is very old I really don´t want to eat it...

I sure my broher could too he has(I think) worked on beetle because sometime he'll come home say a beetle come in and this is what's wrong with it and beetle are crapy car. I'm sure he'll fix my mom's Beetle if she ever got one but he dosen't want to do anything to Laycee and I don't want him to mess with Laycee either

Yeah I know porsche is the mind behind making the beetle my mom dose call Laycee A poor man's Porsche some time
