The best one was when we lined up in the bus next to a Subaru WRX at the lights. The driver gave us a sneering look, so the missus revved the bus a couple of times for a race and got ready. The WRX driver gave another sneering look like we were wasting his time. The light went green, the bus launched off the line and the WRX ........ stalled on the line 馃槀

heheheheh... yeh... Ive had the "you drive a Nazi car" thing a few times... every single time someone gives me that bullshit I just launch into the whole Ben Pon spiel.... they fech off reaaaaal quick then!... seriously... who would stay to listen to that??? 馃槀
I have blown off a few commodores at the lights too heheheh... it shouldnt be able to be done, but meh!

Cruising through the city a while back I had a group of wankers in a Mazda pull up and start going on... said thier Mazda does 10's...
Revved up the Beetle to make it seem like I wanted to race and when the lights turned green I pulled away gently like an old fart, only to look beside and see no Mazda!
They had stalled!
Amateurs!

I'd love to yell back at them,
"Yeah I'll Drag ya, At Stockton Beach".
Doubt many could find it let along find the track onto it.
Being a Baja Lover doubt there is anything mechanically (cept a V6 mabey) that could give me any level of performance.

Had a car full of guys in a "fully sick" subaru try to race my type 3 down parramatta rd in Sydney, I was on the inside lane(the turning left into the next street lane) they started to egg me on for a trafic light race built the revs up, lights went green, I turned left into my street, they hooned off with the cop car that was behind them giving chase.....Idiots
whatnow 路
hehe...
it's never happened to me, but i once (and never again) picked up 2 old flatmates from the pub after they had gone for a quiet beer about 8 hours earlier. they decided my ragtop was the "nazi staff car" and proceeded to stand up out the roof and inspect the troops with a salute to all and sundry through one of the old money suburbs of sydney.
at the time i was voicing questions re thier parentage, intelligence, species of sexual preferance etc, but in hindsight the sight of two guys both well over 6' and more than a tad intoxicated trying to hold themselves up through a goldie while briskly negotiating speed humps and corners was rather funny.

HAHAHAAHAAAH.... now THAT is summin I would love to have seen! :bounce 馃槀

Dickheads try and race me all the time... i'm in a kombi!! Surely if they want to show off their driving skills they should pick a good car... it only makes it all the more embarassing for them when they suddenly realise "oh shit... the guy in this kombi actually knows how to race, as opposed to us in our automatic holden, pulling one wheeled burnouts with the brakes on" :P

I've never been abused for driving a Beetle. I now drive a Herbie which brings smiles to people's faces.
Today in the WA VW Club Kruize I was in convoy with another Herbie. We got constant toots, waves and shouts of "Hey! Herbie!" The kids were rapped. There were two of them.
helbus 路
It is interesting that people will race a kombi. Hey at the end of the day, most cars will still beat it, but what are they gonna tell their mates?
"Hey you guys won't believe this, my car is so good I raced a kombi and beat it"
Now what are their mates gonna think about that comment?
Hertz 路
I hate the "theres Herbie" thing, makes me want to run the f*@kers over.

haha - its not soooooo bad man! the kids always love herbie!
its taken a day but i think ive finally gotten over the nazi call lol

I enjoy driving along and seeing kids 'Punch Buggy' punch each-other. Brings me great joy to know I cause pain just by driving along the road!

Us in the Beetle are 'punch-buggy' ing each other
Schmoburger 路
Why is ther never any punch-bussing? :duh
shaihulud 路
Don't worry Hertz. This Herbie business is starting to wear a litle thin. It was fun for a while, now it's getting a bit boring and tedious. My Herbie has been sold to someone who will Baja it soon, so there's another one off the road.
Still, according to the great unwashed and their kids, it's the coolest car that I have ever driven.
Ampdub 路
the missus and i will 'punch' for any VW, water pumpers included. get a hat trick and you get to make up your own song to taunt your partner. got to be creative though

I have to pass a pub everyday just down my street, especially in summer, just opposite a railway station it is packed even on the footpath, when I got the 54 I few people would yell out "Herbie" among other more derogatory things, & they were being derogatory - I tried everything to sneak past, but they used to wait for me, so I started just grinning, waving & a beep, now on a hot day, I get a huge cheer everytime I drive past, freaks out any passenger I may have, & they now know the kombi as well
Schmoburger 路
Hehehe... i get a lot of waves and peace signs and such from random kiddies I don't know when I'm in the Kombi. :bounce... it's so nice! 馃槑
There are this bunch of kids at a bus stop I go past every morning and as of late i have been getting peace signs and waves from all of em in the morning when i drive past and I always reciprocate... so tis not all bad! 馃槝
Then there are the dickheads that yell out nazi-mobile type slogans and "hippy!!!" in a mocking unpleasant tone... they just get the "yeh good one dickhead keep it real!" expression from page 1 hehehe

Schmoburger would you rather be a hippie or a redneck? i'll take a derogitory (sp?) "hippie!!!" any day if it means i'm not one of them.

Valid point. 馃槀
I don't at all mind being branded a hippy, I am indeed pretty close to it. 馃檪
But I hate rednecks... so i can either get out and beat them soundly with my 7 iron, or I can give em the "wanker!" look hehehe.... I know which I'd prefer if I were a redneck that pissed me off hehehehe :vader
VWCOOL 路
Doesn't happen as much these days, but I used to get 'asked' to race sometimes back when HDT Commodores were flat out cracking into the 15s
I used to say yeah, but on my conditions:
If I win, you tell your mates you raced a VW
If U win, you tell your mates you raced a VW

Thats when you pullover, you and your mate get changed into SS uniforms, catch them at the next set of lghts, roll up next to them, pull handguns on them and let the German shephards out of the back seat on their side.
Worst I've heard is hitlers revenge up my way so far.
lil dub 路
i never get nazi, just HIPPIE god damn lentil eating hippy. but mostly i think people dont know the type 3 is even a vw....
is it just me... or are there some very thinly-veiled nazi adorers here posting in this thread. actually. dont answer that i just dont even want to freakin well know or talk about it.
people smile at me in my car, well, sometimes boys who like loud low cars, but they are kinda cancelled out by the people who frown at me for being loud. blowing smoke and not having headlights and stuff.
sigh. can't please em all.
$2.63 homebrand baja 路
What bout when that guy lost his sunnies hanging out the window of the limo yelling at me on the highway thor 馃憤 mwahahaha
lil dub 路
yes... heather in Festy is definately the ULIMATE head turner. shitty old beaten up baja covered in mud and tearing down the highway looking like something out of mad max, people do a double take when they see a GIRL driving it!
on the way back from valla a couple of years ago i swear if we had a dollar for every car load of guys ooggling at us, giving us the thumbs up... hahahah... well, we wouldnt be driving shitty vws anymore....
the best one was when a stretch limo over took us just ballina i think and there was some dude hanging out of the window with a camera trying to get a pic i think.... 20 seconds later he loses his sunglasses out the window and on to the highway. limo has to pull over so he can find them again. in hindsight heather, really, we should have stopped to help the poor guy.
