Sorry I had to laugh seagull but when I read "I got a free beetle" by a seagull I instantly had the picture of a "Finding Nemo" seagull bragging about what he got "Mine" "Mine" "Mine mine" lol
could just be my twisted sense of humour but hey that sounds great mate ,Wish we could all be that fortunate

Check this pic and tell me if I dont have a twisted humour :thumb

Have a look at the third digit in the number on the tunnel under the back seat, in most pre 67 Beetles this tells you what year it is IE 376 278 576, means it is a 66.
