This is my third bug, and she's probably the one I have the most affection for!
I bought her in Cornwall, England.  And over the last four years I've slowly been restoring her, she's now lowered to the floor at the front, and I've added camber at the rear to achieve a raked stance.
She sits on original steelies that I had banded.
She only has a little 1300 lump in her at the mo, at some point this year, I will transplant a 1600 for a bit of extra punch :)

Pros — She's built like a viking!
Cons — Needs a little more power in her rear!

This was the car that started it all.  I learned how to fix, and modify cars with this girl.  i must have polished the paint off of this one.  she was so much fun, small and nimble, and feisty.  I remember the started died and I learned to bump start it by myself, in reverse, up a hill.  Drop top love.  I see them still on the street and long to have one again eventually.

Pros — perfect first car. it's a volkswagen...need I say anything else!?!
Cons — had to fix it all the time...but that ended up being a Pro actually.

Not great for daily use and not amazing performance but thats not the point, its a fun, unique car which looks retro and sounds like an american muscle! So not great for running from the FEDS.

Pros — Noticed and loved everywere
Cons — Unreliable & inpractical at times

They are slow, Heating rarely works, and mine filled up with water. BUT never have i had a car that gives so many smiles, received so many waves, and had such a huge close club following.

Pros — GREAT for customising, Clubs, Events, ANYTHING Really
Cons — SO DAMN OLD... so damn rust prone, BUT I DONT CARE!!!
