I hate:
how my beetle has a button to start it
How it has disc brakes
How it doesnt look as good as others

A VOLKSWAGEN IS NOT JUST A CAR, ITS AN OBSESSION.

I hate the fact that a previous owner took it upon themselves to saw a hole for a radio in the dashboard without bracing the panel so it didn't bend, and seemingly without following a straight line.

I also hate the way everyone assumes that because it's a reasonably scruffy looking old car that they can be as messy and inconsiderate of it as they like.

I just hate the fact that my kombi is 29 years old, not that it really matters, but I'd love to be able to walk into a showroom and buy a brand spanking new '75 kombi. 😎

3. Them getting all the attention when I'm on the road 😀

I hate other people thinking that it is ok to pull out infront of you because it just a "slow bug".

I hate that my other army mates don't have respect for me and my hobby, when i am respectful of theirs. And i have more to show for it and a hell of alot of pride in my car.

You should know mate!
you saw my handy work at Waynes. :o
