Nickster - September 16th, 2009 at 09:47 PM

lovely car, is that an original colour? if so do you know what it is?


Joel - September 16th, 2009 at 09:58 PM

looks like mango green


BeetleJuice - September 17th, 2009 at 07:49 AM

Has that got a steroids mouse motor?

Like the look!


Mick058 - September 17th, 2009 at 07:58 AM

that and the rag top are nice. Guess the original superbug is good too. Get rid of the rest and do something nice with the 54 before you kill it! Poor thing sitting outside in the rain. Maybe keep one race car too! 5 VW's is enough isn't it!


vwsteve - September 17th, 2009 at 08:15 AM

very nice........and 5 is not enough:lol:


Mick058 - September 17th, 2009 at 08:41 AM

i think you two have the same disease REXY


squizy - September 17th, 2009 at 09:59 AM

Can still go lower mate. Love this car - it purrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrs.


Mick058 - September 17th, 2009 at 10:12 AM

yes, the flash is cool.

Pull your finger out and fix the 54!!!


spdterence - September 17th, 2009 at 10:33 AM

Craig - do you need to take beta blockers to drive this car - or does driving the car have the same effect as beta blockers?


Craig Torrens - September 17th, 2009 at 11:07 AM

In traffic I need to take beta blockers...................on a weekend it is my beta blocker :rolleyes:


Goitsy - September 17th, 2009 at 11:45 AM

Thats a damn fine bug you have there. Also like the stance on the blue one too:tu:


ian.mezz - September 17th, 2009 at 12:33 PM

I suppose it looks nice if you like those Volkswagen's thingies:lol:
that mesh sun visor don't look rite.


vwsteve - September 17th, 2009 at 12:40 PM

the mesh visor looks like its off something wider than a bug.


Camo - September 17th, 2009 at 05:51 PM

Craig, sorry but you have to get ride of those wheel spats (obviously my thoughts only). Other than that, I love it :tu:

Kev


Craig Torrens - September 17th, 2009 at 05:54 PM

Yeah i must admit the spats don't really do it for me either.......maybe if they were painted the same colour as the car ?


Nickster - September 17th, 2009 at 10:12 PM

Any more pics of the blue one?? - is that yours squizy?


1303Steve - September 17th, 2009 at 10:51 PM

Hi

Nice car, I think you drove it to my place once. Your car has a name??? Do you have any imaginary friends as well.

Steve
