Volkszones a good one and the missus bought me a book on all the history of them. Think it was about a tenner. Super informative as it had the complete history in it.

Post by: Gavv8 on 11 July 2011, 17:45: Sorry, i was taken to school as a child in a bright orange beetle owned by my friends mum ( they also had a mk1 campaign golf) so i am scarred for life, nasty cold noisy slow rusty unreliable ugly junk that was designed by nazi's , but thats just my opinion.

Post by: Gavv8 on 12 July 2011, 18:34: Also had a very unpleasant weekend with an old girlfriend in a aircooled camper, driving up the m6 during a rainsoaked trip to alton towers with my legs wrapped in blankets to avoid exposure, air cooled = evil.
