Raven Posted 14March, 2016 Report Share Posted 14March, 2016 I had 4 Beetles as a kid over a period of about 6 years we had acreage in Sydney,s western suburbs and had our own paddock basher track .....we would pick them up for only a couple hundred dollars and drive them till we broke the car beyond the point of repair and just pick another one up cheap ,,,they are the reason I love 911,s so much and do have a real soft spot for the humble Bug ,so many good memory,s ,,,my Daughter is due to start Driving in the next 18 months and I keep telling her she is getting a Beetle weather she likes it or not .........

Coastr Posted 14March, 2016 Report Share Posted 14March, 2016 Basically someone spent big bucks because Seinfeld is a previous owner.he should have auctioned a Le baron owned by a dentist as well, for a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stew F Posted 15March, 2016 Report Share Posted 15March, 2016 I've never had a beetle, or any VW for that matter, but I've always liked their simplicity. I particularly like the VW Typ 3's. My auntie had a beetle. She used to take mum & I to the Barossa Valley to visit my grandma. That thing was a hoot. Noisy, smelly, rough, & freezing cold in winter. One day she had it airborne over the railway crossing heading into Rowland Flat (SA people will know it). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeM Posted 15March, 2016 Author Report Share Posted 15March, 2016 I started with a 63 beetle after I stopped bike racing in 05/06. Wanted a hot rod but couldnt afford one. Then it was a succession of buying and flipping a few VW's, as I got bored easily. 56, 58 beetles, 70's T3 Squareback, 64 Type 3 Squareback (still love them) 61 Karmann Ghia, mostly all lowered, then lastly a rat 67 splitty Kombi which all brought me here to grace you all with my presence. A natural progression i to a Porsche I spose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clutch-monkey Posted 15March, 2016 Report Share Posted 15March, 2016 Never had any desire to own a beetle, though would love to tinker with one and make a turbo flat four in a 912.. Now that 912 prices are obscene looks like a beetle or type 3 is more practical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reub Posted 15March, 2016 Report Share Posted 15March, 2016 Crazy $. Def the celeb factor..I love my volksies. Much like Lee the Porsche seems to be the natural progression.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russ Posted 17March, 2016 Report Share Posted 17March, 2016 I have a one owner (before me, my great uncle who bought it new) 1960 beetle that I need to put back together... looks like I'm sitting on another goldmine1960 in Australia/Italy is a special 1 year only split tail-light tooI also have a cabriolet bootlid for it, but that's probably a bit too fancy (nice oval there Reub!)

tazzieman Posted 17March, 2016 Report Share Posted 17March, 2016 The humble Beetle , lol. Mark my words , if you stockpile old parts your superannuation is guaranteed , tax free. One reason I now own 3x60's Mercs. 2 of which will be driven in anger and with delight.Mate of mine has 90 classic cars on site, and another 10 elsewhere...he never pays more than 1k/car . Thus he has $ for a lifestyle as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
