I've seen that car in the flesh on several occasions and personally I love it. So many people slate the ratlook and say they don't understand it, it's simply different peoples different taste, the world would be a boring place if EVERYBODY liked the same thing.
Personally I own both a ratlook mk2 and a gleaming shiny mk2 and I love them both for very different reasons.
Up with rust ;)

What the hell is so appealing about a car covered in rust? :huh:

As mentioned above!!! If it's not your thing, it's simply not your thing. I love seeing vehicles that look in a tragically bad way but are actually perfectly roadworthy and actually in good condition mechanically.


You got any pics of your dad's split ?

OK fair enough. Don't think it's something I'll ever understand.

Saw a sticker a while back "If I have to explain you wouldn't understand" I'm still dying to find one to put on my ratlook motor.

One of my all time favourite ratlook golfs:

Now ratting a new beetle like that is sh!te, surely it has something to do with the age and character of the motor, that guy has it all wrong

Agreed, its someone trying too hard basically.

Can picture what he was thinking now
"I want to be cool and loved by dubbers, lets rat a new beetle yea...that will be a good idea"
