My Pretty Blue Bug!

Finally, I own my obsession!
Since having first laid eyes on this 1970 Auto Beetle a few months ago, I have wanted it. I sold my 2003 Honda CR-V Sport for this Bug, and now it's mine!
I'm soooooo happy, and it's so fun to drive! :D

It will be even better when we put in your stereo!


PrettyBlueBug - May 22nd, 2005 at 04:25 PM

It will indeed! That'll top off it's cruisey-ness..... ;)


baybuscamperkid - May 22nd, 2005 at 04:57 PM

damn pretty bug, congrats on moving on to a 'real' car :thumb ;)


bajachris88 - May 22nd, 2005 at 05:04 PM

That ain't pretty. THATS SEXY;)


PrettyBlueBug - May 22nd, 2005 at 05:05 PM

Hahaha, thanx heaps baybuscamperkid!! :)


PrettyBlueBug - May 22nd, 2005 at 05:07 PM

Wow.... I didn't think a Bug could look sexy.... that's why I opted for 'Pretty'.... ;)


mscabrio - May 22nd, 2005 at 07:29 PM

All bugs are sexy !!!

She looks like one awesome ride. I think that I have seen her around ??????


PrettyBlueBug - May 22nd, 2005 at 07:49 PM

I have only been driving her for 3 days..... but if you're in sth eastern suburbs of Melb, you may have seen her!
It's been nice (but I get so embarrassed!) having people stare at it when I drive past or stop at lights. Guess I'll have to get used to it! But I'm so proud to own a bug that looks so good. Stuy did a truly awesome job! :D The photos don't do it justice..... the paint is AMAZING in the sun! ;)nn[ Edited on 11/8/2005 by Pretty_Blue_Bug ]


PrettyBlueBug - May 22nd, 2005 at 07:51 PM

err...... the PAINT that should have said, not pain...... hahaha
I'll learn to type one day! :P


pod - May 22nd, 2005 at 08:28 PM

Freddie Fender - May 22nd, 2005 at 08:43 PM

Looks great. Congratualtions!


PrettyBlueBug - May 22nd, 2005 at 08:50 PM

Thanx pod, I was beginning to wonder if I'd gone mad, selling my Honda for this Pretty Bug! But I'm lovin' my decision.... now I have a REAL car! ;)

And thanx Freddie Fender, I'm a happy chappy now!! :D


mscabrio - May 22nd, 2005 at 09:17 PM

I think that she was at the 2004 VWCV Day of the Volkswagen. I think that she was for sale then, I remember wanting to buy her and my spoil sport man said NO !!!!! NOT another VW!!!!! ( he is a Subaru man).

You will get used to people waving at you !!! I thought that it was strange at first and now I expect it !


PrettyBlueBug - May 22nd, 2005 at 09:27 PM

Aaaah, yes, she was there then. ;)

I had my first VW Wave by a Kombi driver on Thursday! :) I think it's awesome, I haven't heard of that happening with other-make-of-car drivers...


Marrs_7 - May 22nd, 2005 at 09:59 PM

Ah the *wave*! Great :D

Awsome beetle, you must be so in love!


68AutoBug - May 22nd, 2005 at 10:20 PM

GREAT LOOKING BEETLE WITH THOSE FUCHS PORSCHE WHEELS and maybe Porsche disc brakes.....

and the colour ...... WOW.....

Anyway it is One Beautiful Beetle.......

That deserves to be waved at......

Best Wishes to You and the Beetle.....

You certainly would have won one of these trophies for sure......

You will notice a tell tale lamp between 80 & 90 MPH in Your speedo...
If this comes on, You will need to change back to Drive 1,
as Your Automatic Transmission fluid is too hot...
Driving in Drive 1 will let it cool down... [below 50 MPH]

You can drive Your Beetle using the 3 forward gears...
Low- Drive 1 & drive 2....
or Drive 1 & drive 2.....

Damien {killakornkobb] is having some of these stickers made.... to apply to Your ashtray... where they were originally....

cheers

I used to ride bikes and most will nod or wave it blew me away when i first got the bug that people wave, nice looking bug now you will enjoy being on the road


PrettyBlueBug - May 24th, 2005 at 08:01 AM

Thanx Greenbug70! :D

Apparently Valiant drivers do the 'Valiant V' when they see another one pass by.... it's like a peace sign or something. Hahaha
But the VW Wave is much friendlier!


Yogie - May 24th, 2005 at 02:49 PM

Congratulations. She looks fantastic. A real stunning colour. Now you will have to work out what her name will be.

Yogie
