killakornkobb - March 4th, 2007 at 09:50 PM

yeah mate i'll be there - its just down the street from my house (on stud rd) i'll have the beetle there for sure - not so sure about the golf


Opaque - March 4th, 2007 at 09:51 PM

well see you there for sure! back on topic, who else is around 18-21 years old?


whatnow - March 4th, 2007 at 10:04 PM

not me.

i used to say, old enough to know better, but young enough to get away with it. now its more along the lines of young enough to want too but too old to do it without feeling it for the next day or two.

32 next month with morgage and children

guys my age, the generation that grew up with fast and the furious and autosalon car shows, what do your friends think of your VW fetish?
sticks and stones may break my bones but my type 3 can run you over.


Rural Baja - March 5th, 2007 at 08:25 AM

I'm 14 and had my first beetle at 11 and have since restored her!


THUDKNUCKLE - March 5th, 2007 at 08:56 AM

Hey there fella's im im one of the younger ones out there with a love for vw's also :)

im 19 got my baja at 16 and have been woking on it since then , its my daily driver and my weekend toy all in one :)

i also grew up with the autosaloon style jap imports in which 90% of my freinds are big into,, drifting on weekends and innporting and selling during the week, they always jump at the chance to go for a cruise in the baja though as what drifter setup jap import can fly through the bush and mud, not to mention the fun factor and wow factor of the screeming rotary in the back ( ear muffs are almost essential)


rob53 - March 5th, 2007 at 09:07 AM

I'm 23, got my beetle when 17.

I love that line! Good stuff!:thumb

im lucky i didnt have the dough for a car until just before i got my square. if i had the money when i was 16, it would have been a 180sx, then a ae86, silvia, if 17 then either a datto 1600, 400K Skyline or a bug. took me a while but i finally decided on type 3s :P


butidontunderstand - March 5th, 2007 at 01:03 PM

type 3s are the coolest, when I was looking around for a car to buy when I was 17 my aunty was trying to convince me to get a Honda Civic, but my dad said "the only way I am letting you have a car is if it's a good car, so go find yourself a beetle to buy". around the same time me and dad were driving around and saw a fasty, I had seen them at valla and thought they were cool but had forgotten about them. So I said "dad i want a fasty I don't want a beetle" so good old dad went on a mission to find me a fasty, I'm so glad he found one :smilegrin:


Opaque - March 5th, 2007 at 02:23 PM

my dad wanted me to buy a beetle, but it wasnt very practical because i gig a bit and u cant really fit loads of equipment in a bug. hence the square:starhit:


shaihulud - March 5th, 2007 at 03:08 PM

I'm 63. I got my first Beetle, a '58, when I was 20, my second when I was 45 and my buggy when I was 53.
I now have a Baja chop top having sold a Herbie recently.

Am I the oldest? My handle implies it.


baybuscamperkid - March 5th, 2007 at 03:49 PM

liltimmy1300 - March 5th, 2007 at 03:56 PM

I used to be into the whole auto salon/import scene but it just became a bit repetitive...there is a few guys at my school into VW's so im lucky lol.


pete wood - March 5th, 2007 at 04:47 PM
