Good choice man. I learnt to drive on a beete (i'm 1303steve's son) and i'm glad i did. Learning without power steering and all that other stuff really does make you a better driver. My cousin tried to drive my bug once and he could only just get it out of the driveway and gave up just up the street and he had been driving for 3 years. It is the best way to do it. Very nice bug by the way

you carters make me laugh. in a good way. Love it 🙂

I agree with dave, I never let my friends drive my beetle, because I know they couldn't. having said that, there are harder cars to drive... ie, 1980 mazda 626.... I thought the tires were at 2psi.. honestly, never been in a car that was harder to steer. so glad it wasnt mine. (having said tha, my old 89 laser had tougher steering than my super....)

you should try driving an old falcon or commodore then or an old toyota boneshaker,
your arm muscles will be the envy of all these wankey bodybuilders driving excels

gotta agree with steve, superbugs are bout the safest you can get in an old bug and he wont headbutt the windscreen in an accident

Hi

Saw the bug today, its real good find.

Watch that you don't go over 2 hours driving per session on the L plates.

Imagine a other road uses seeing a swarm of bugs, all with L plates LOL

Stock 2.3 litre straight four puts out 170+ horsepower, if anything the 6 is a boring car to drive

i learnt to drive in my 69 bug now 6 months away from getting my black licence i love my bug and now find driveing my friends and familys cars boring. They may not be the safest things on the road but because of that i have always tried to drive more carefully so it has definatly made be a better driver
