My 1999 silver TDI

[Kuplamies]

Jippee! Today I managed to ski for the first time this winter.
It was so nice to do that again (after long summer )

Btw. Today I found this, when I went to the parking area...

Hands...

to take care of it

Hi!

Nice to hear from you again

Oh, you said that you put your Old Beetle called "Aku" (which means "Donald Duck" in English) on holiday...! That´s nice

Aku is a good boy

Btw. how´s about your New Beetle? Is it still okay? Do you drive with it also during the winter...

Please, say my greetings to all of your family

[Kuplamies]

My Bug is so dirty, so it wanted to hide behind the snow bank We don´t like road salt.

Btw. I took this picture today, when I went to ski.
I managed to ski 18 kms, which is a good result for me
I was so happy after the exercise

Man oh man, you guys get some extreme snow. Well from a Floridian's perspective, anything is extreme snow

Your beetle looks like a shark fin cruising the waters.


I love your winter pics- you take them very well- looking forward to more of them

Yep, Aku is on the garage next to our new beetle. Sonja´s Herbie is on the other garage.

New beetle is doing fine, we have been driving with it, but not so often... But I will get my driver´s license quite soon (maybe in january), so if I get a permission to drive with nb, I could go to school with new beetle sometimes... It´s much nicer than a noisy schoolbus

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year too!!!

Nice to hear, that your NB is all right!

It will be a wonderful feeling for you, when you´re able to get the licence

NB is very good and safe car to drive in wintertime :-)
But, please be careful with the slippery roads at first.

I bet, your friends at school will be surprised, if (when) you drive to the school yard with your cool Bug!

Cars of the driving school are very nice too: VW Golf and Scirocco Nice cars to drive! I was driving in Helsinki with Golf... There is so much snow, huh. And slippery too. It was quite interesting trip and it was much easier to drive in Helsinki than I thought

They have good cars indeed. One member of our local VW-club has blue Scirocco -09. Unfortunately I haven´t drove it.

It is very useful to practice, how to drive in Helsinki, with a proper teacher. It is the biggest city in Finland; even though it is not actually THAT big I bet, many tourists would consider it as a little "village" actually

I suppose there are now approximately 70 cms of snow in Helsinki! And quite cold weather... Now there are -21 degrees PS. It was a little bit "fresh" weather (-22C) for me to ski today; but I managed to do it

Thanks again Al


Today I made a little Christmas cruise to the countryside...

PS. I know, my Bug is so dirty; the weather has been too cold to wash it. But I will do it, when the weather gets little bit warmer... And I like it anyway, no matter if it´s dirty or clean! Nobody´s perfect all the time

[Kuplamies]

Happy birthday!

It is now 12 years old

[Kuplamies]

Today I cherished it with new filters and fresh oil
It looked like a bit hungry...


Btw. When I replaced the cabin air filter, I noticed little stickers on the dash. And when I looked one of them
closely, I saw numbers: 221298. It made me wonder, could these
numbers mean a date, when this part was manufactured or assembled to my Bug?

Nice silver Bug! I really like the scenic photos that you've taken, especially the winter pics with the snow!
