Most favourite VW of all time POLL
Mr Bubble Head - June 4th, 2003 at 04:38 PM

Choose a category and then send a post saying exactly which model e.g.

Split Bus :1963 23 Window Samba

You could go on to say why!

Should be interesting to see how this turns out. Its a shame that I carn't put more than ten answers down as my list would be nearer twenty odd

L bugs!!
I like their look even if most dont, irs, handles so great - too bad about the extra weight!

My 73L Convertable was my fav and always will be.
Wish to god i had of kept it and fixed it after it was written off!
:mad::bounce

I suppose I must make mine a Full cal look 57 rag top bug with a stomping motor (2ltr+), on brms, in grey. Hopfully mine might turn out into this car as soon as I get my garage even if its a ratlooker to start with.:o


type3kid - June 4th, 2003 at 05:34 PM

type 3 square X 2

just love everything about the t3


Grey 57 - June 4th, 2003 at 05:38 PM

Have to be a 54 Rag Top for me. Would have to be full of old speed gear on the 36hp motor. Wide 5 356 chromies with decent radials. Maico disc brakes, MotoMeter guages, Speedwell Wheel.
All chrome intact, in Grey or Black with flames.
Thats all.
Had a few Ovals over the years but never a real rag top.

ALL aircooled VW's, but I usually love the one I'm driving at the time the most :D


Robo - June 4th, 2003 at 07:01 PM

My 65 Beetle that I foolishly sold, we all make at least one big boo boo, but I love my 77 Kombi I have now, at least that soothe's the pain!
Rob....

anything aircooled vw. But love the performance and feel of an L bug. Just wish I could put and earliebug front apron on a L bug it would look so cool. :D

if you lived near me i would come around and give you a swift kick up the bum!!!

That is like saying you want to put an alcholics nose on Elle McPherson!

Bix Bix Bix... what are we gunna do with you!


twoguns - June 4th, 2003 at 08:26 PM

obviously i voted my split bus...

but i appreciate all air-cooled vw's but have a special spot for the 6v's. the earlier models seem more rounded, minimal and smart.


pyr0 - June 4th, 2003 at 08:39 PM

i love split buses but i only own a bay window we can all dream cant we ??


BiX - June 4th, 2003 at 08:47 PM

its only when u don't run bumpers, the way the L bug tucks under just isn't rite naked, needs a top on to help give the curves a better shape.:D


sand kombi - June 4th, 2003 at 08:54 PM

I have a 75 baja twin cab , no twin/single pick ups VW DESCRIMINATION

sand kombi LOL :beer:beer


jenz58 - June 4th, 2003 at 08:54 PM

Any Type: of air-cooled :)

I'm just fickled or plain easy

But the older ones definitely. Splitties, dual cabs or single, beetles, kombis, fastbacks, notches sqbacks

Dr L is not a sort after type 3 or year but I think he's cool for a '70 Type 3 sqback, and Bel the '58 isn't an oval but she's so sweet to me

There has to be something about a particular VW that makes me flip over it, it's the cars personality, it's style/character but not necessarily intended by the owner

Hmm, hope I didn't loose every one :sandrine


Grey 57 - June 4th, 2003 at 10:36 PM

Sand Kombi I was going to put single cab as the second choice. But it said just one.
Anyway 2nd choice single cab, split or bay window theyre both kool.


Starbug - June 4th, 2003 at 11:55 PM

I love the 60's beetles, they have a good mellow vibe to them :) but i love all VW's... even the new ones.


kustomkool - June 5th, 2003 at 11:04 AM

I love em all as long as there slammed and kooled out.sorry cant pick just one.


Mr Bubble Head - June 5th, 2003 at 03:58 PM

I love all of them too but it wouldn't make for an interesting poll, but hey why not list your next favourite models

mine would go like this : 57 rag cal looker, 63 23 window, 50s cab beetle, bay window bus camper.

Sorry that I didn't sqeeze in Kubels or swimmers into the poll anyway you carn't really see many of them around.

cheers nick


Tazz - June 5th, 2003 at 04:53 PM

TYPE 3's!
The only way to travel!


SKEWtYpe3 - June 6th, 2003 at 12:13 AM

I am with Tazz on this one but i would sell it all for a sweet Fridolin or a split beetle and a 3 fold ragtop is a clsoe second with a samba coming in close behind.
All slammed and done justice !:bounce


warb - June 6th, 2003 at 12:21 AM

my fave is the aircooled one.. :|

-sorry can never choose-


rachael brown - June 6th, 2003 at 01:20 AM

although i have my beloved splitty, a karmen ghia is my all time dream that wants to come true!!


baybuscamperkid - June 6th, 2003 at 04:25 PM

any notchy, fasty, squareback, panelvan or camper.

(picky, arent i?:D)


sikdub - June 6th, 2003 at 11:10 PM

I am with Tazz and Skewy on this one. Mine has to be a type 3. But im sorta picky, i like them to be pre 70 and slammed. Preference would be Square, Notch then Fasty. But hey a set of 5 spoke empi's always look good.... :)

Mr Bubble Head - June 8th, 2003 at 10:22 PM

Its scary

If you asked me a year ago about type 3s I would not of taken a real intrest in them if i did have to chose it would of have to of been an early square but if you ask now I'd be swinging towards an early notch which was one of my least liked type 3s.

Scary how some cars get under your skin.

At the end of the day there all air cooled so who cares!!!!! :P


GASBNR - June 8th, 2003 at 11:11 PM

it goes without saying. pre 67 Karmann then any pre67 air cooled dubs.


NigeType3 - June 9th, 2003 at 12:56 AM

For me its the T3's i just like the way they look. Eaven the 70's cars are cool.
But if I had enough cash I would have a colection of all early model air-cooled VW's. I like ovals, splits karmans you name Id have it.
:kiss love em all

Cheers Nige:thumb
