| After bashing dubs for a few years I am finally admitting that I am joining the dark side I am getting a VW the first week of april.
1966 beetle 50hp for the win.
For this year just cleaning it up abit and making it run perfect. May head up to MVOC in june but not sure yet. Dieppe is a long drive, when you have a factory rated 121km/h top speed.
Will post pics as soon as I have it. It is currently in storage. Won't be out until first week of april.
Car is two tone blue and has been in storage for about 8 years. | |

| air cooled simply for the heritage factor. not speed. if you want speed get a dub with a turbo. congrats on the ride. post some pics when you can  | |

| !'ve been researching the type 1s and the type 3s for awhile now and ive been in one beetle and the only part i found small was that the windshield is about 4 inches from ur face.
If you sneeze you'll break your nose on the windshield.
Which is way different from the concorde which you cant even reach the windshield in. | |
