Ivan Hirst in the news again

It's an article about the end of the Beetle, but the good Major does get a mention!

the beetle in the picture looks like our black 57 too, apart from the towel rails

I'm glad that you posted that link as I have never read that article before. It's a shame that it had to end but nothing lasts forever. My only wish would be that VW had done some more engine development towards the end. But I think that the emission laws forced the car makers around the world to go to the water cooled engine.

Ohhhh that's really sad🙁

So the end is finally near
I think they should make the day the last one rolls off the line a global public holiday, so we can all have a few beers and remininsce on what the world has lost!
