Welcome to the forum.
Please fill in your profile. By the looks of your bugs rego plate, you seem to be from Tassie. Am I right?

Do you think original wheels (blue with white and a red vw logo hubcaps would look better than green wheels (the ones i have on now.) This really is confusing me which ones i should put on. Or the original ones with no hubcaps? Please help me my aussie dubbers.:thumb

10 years old, wow and you have your own beetle, and such a sweet one

When you drive the 2 km circle can you drive it the other way roundas well? Otherwise you're gunna wear one side of the tread down more on the curve😉:thumb

Hey jenz58 my dad owns a 30 Acres in Tasmania. In the bush and 1km to the beach. Ive taken it on the beach once and she goes quite well. And that will be the last time too. Bill.
Ps. You might see her at the Calcuvate 50 Anniversiary club run around Tasmania.
Only if your lucky.....😀
