Do all volkswagens have a common 1st August birthday as well?

Nah,

More likely 22nd June as it was this day in 1934 that Ferdinand signed the contract with Adolph that started the development & design ball rolling.

Which is why 22nd June has been declared World Wide Day Of The Beetle (or drive your beetle to work day).

I'll have a beer or two at lunch out of respect anyway. It being for horses or volkswagens is mostly irrelevant 🙂

in the northern hemishphere yes, down here its august 1. Something to do with the spring carnivals. I think they all have to go up a year before then. But I'm not sure.
