hey guys and gals, I have just joined these forums, you may or may not know the username from other forums online.. anyway, yes I am a rotorhead by nature, but I am not blind to other cars. but the main reason I am here is to learn more about VW.s, and particularly beetles, and even more particularly, 1969/1970 models 🙂 my girlfriend has just got herself an early 1970 beetle, not a superbug, will post more details in the members rides section. this is going to be a steep learning curve for me, any comments on general VW stuff would be great, abnd I know Type 1 is beetle, Type 3 is the funky looking thing.. uhh anything else that could help me out would be great 🙂 ADDED BIT: has anyone got any good sites I can go to to learn a little bit of tech about her beetle? mainly engine, as that is the bit that is new and different for me.

Is that because Superbugs are better handling? :P

Lady is the name of my 1969 beetle and Red is the colour. I figured if I got a red one it would have even more grunt!

hehe, sounds good herbie 🙂

and dont worry about getting a collection because your son is buying an RX-7 🙂
I have a STB 1300 I drive, plus another getting rotorised, plus my RX-7, and now my GF's beetle, and still her galant daily until we can sell it off 🙂

but apparently we are not rotorising the beetle, it will use too much fuel... so we (I) have plans for something fuel injected and aircooled 😉
