Exactly right. The German word for 'Beetle' is 'Käfer'. The VW was not sold officially in Germany with that name, although VW does use it now to describe the Type 1 model.
In Holland they use a very similar word ' 'Kever'. The French call the Beetle the 'Coccinelle'. There are many other local words around the world to describe the Beetle - just can't remember them at the moment!
THANKS ! .... i can move on now 😀

Hold on not so quick.
The proper english spelling should be "kaefer" because of teh umlaut above the a.
Now you can go

That's what I was told, the Afrikaans consider the blacks foreigners. Doesn't really make sense, but then again neither does our attitude towards our indigenous people.
Ooh, suits you sir!
Oh please, don't go there!!! :o:o:o
