MY NEW 2008 TDI BEETLE!
foxy_fuchsia - August 27th, 2008 at 05:08 PM

Just wanted to share with you all some pics of my new baby!!! :love: I picked her up at approx 10:30am this morning and have been cruising all day! I caught up with Jess, Jace & Chris for lunch and we all took lots of pics! I've waited about 4 and a half months for my new beetle and I'm so happy I finally have it. She's an absolute dream to drive and was so worth the wait!! Here's more info about my NB...

She's a brand new 2008 Silver Volkswagen Beetle TDI Model with a Sunroof, Rust/Paint protection, Tinting, Genuine VW floor mats and with personalised number plates :) I'm sure it won't take long for me to bling this baby up!!!

Piccy's below, enjoy!

Hi Lee, thanx! Yes she definately was worth the wait. I've also seen there are alot of accessories you can purchase like chrome bits for the door handles, interior and so forth, clear tail lights etc .. can't wait until I have a chance to see what's out there so I can start prettying the bug up :tu:

haha thanx for the congrats chris, although you and my beetle were getting mighty friendly today ;) Can't wait till we cruise to the coast for our BBQ!

yeah nice one j
worth the wait for sure..
i keep lookin at the verts.. but another day yet to happen..
enjoy it!


squizy - August 28th, 2008 at 07:30 AM

Nice one Joh. Any plans for it at all? Those Joh plates would be popular in Qld no doubt.


Midlife crisis - August 28th, 2008 at 08:02 AM

Very nice:tu::starhit:

Marc

:tu:


foxy_fuchsia - August 28th, 2008 at 08:41 AM

Thanx h! It sure was worth it :) I reakon I could see you in a convertable, wind in your hair cruising at the coast hehe. When I fully open the sunroof it's a bit like that for me and the passengers in the car. Will be nice when it's spring/summer though (tad cold atm).

And squizy, I have alot of plans going around in my head atm, first I just want to get some nice wheels for it & lower it a bit. And I would like to put a nice stereo in it, maybe with some doof doof :) Not to sure what else as of yet but im sure I'll keep you guys updated. And yes, I was suprised those number plates where still available, I've had them for a while now! But I'm so glad I decided to get them.

Thanx for your comment Marc, might see you cruising around if I'm down your way at all :tu:

OH, btw I've beeped at 2 old beetles so far and none of them recipricated!! :sniffle:


Yogie - August 28th, 2008 at 12:20 PM

Congratulations on your new purchase. Our 2004 is in for its 150,000 service today and they have given me a bright yellow tdi for a loan car. They go pretty well with all that torque. You will love it I'm sure.

Yogie


ian.mezz - August 28th, 2008 at 07:01 PM

I hope you look after this one better then the ford explorer hehehehe:crazy:

the service cost on a new beetle are a killer its about $66 just for the oil , so dont let this little car end up like your Ford:lol::l:lol: make sure Joh gets all his services


foxy_fuchsia - August 28th, 2008 at 09:56 PM

Thanx Yogie, I am yet to see if she goes, I've been told they go really well with the amount of torque in them but for the moment I'm just running my baby in and probably will be for a few months. Hey Ian, I've heard the NB services are expensive but I believe there's no point buying an expensive car if someone isn't going to maintain it which I intend to do...ford explorer? I've never owned a Ford explorer, what are you talking about!? lol :dork:


kroozzn63 - August 28th, 2008 at 10:28 PM

nice :tu:


M16S VW - August 29th, 2008 at 03:12 AM

Very nice :D I've got 2 TDi Beetles - a 1998 and a 2008! Love them both to bits. Both feel very different to drive tho, despite being the 'same' car.... well the 98 is LHD which makes it different, but there's more than that - it's a different 'feel' to each car.

I'm teaching people to drive in the 2008 one :D

depends upon where you go... dealerships can be quite expensive with a minor service anywhere around $300-400. (for the petrol models - not sure of costing for diesels)
there is a website that has suggestive prices for servicing.


foxy_fuchsia - August 29th, 2008 at 08:40 AM

Hey M165, I love mine to bits as well & the first ones that came out were nice to. In about 2006 I had a 2002 miami model! I sit in the NB now though and can instantly smell that new car smell...ahhh it's bliss.

:lol: Your funny Ian! I did actually have a ford laser (not explorer), but it was a 1983 model and there were a few issues with the engine!! hehehe :smirk: ... and definately no drag racing for my baby!!! I still have the laser I'll just be using it to drive to and from the train station each day in.

:yes:


foxy_fuchsia - August 29th, 2008 at 08:44 AM

Ok cool...

thanx for the info blutopless :) Question, do you know where I can start sussing out after market accessories?


greasykitchen - August 29th, 2008 at 11:16 AM

Hi ya, congrats on the purchase. I've never even been in a new care let alone owned one. My newest car is the same age as me!

Anyway, as I often say the Watercooled VW forum is full of useful advice re servicing costs, aftermarket mods etc http://www.vwwatercooled.org.au/

Best of luck.
Cheers :)

What no drag racing:fakesniff:
Try classic veedub he was going to get NB stuff


foxy_fuchsia - August 30th, 2008 at 12:52 AM

cheers thanx Stephen! The last car I drove was the same age as me to lol

I know what you mean blu! I've just gotten it I should probably just drive and enjoy it for a while, I still wanna suss all the accessories out tho tee hee. That's the fun part ;) And ian, I think classic veedub is a good place to start. George helped me out heaps with my 68'


vw 4 life - August 30th, 2008 at 07:46 AM

Wow, there lookin great!!


mscabrio - August 30th, 2008 at 04:19 PM

CONGRATS!!!!!! Ur new bug is simply gorgeous ..... Don't even listen to what Blutopless says about waiting to accessorise ur bug he would have no clue and is jealous because he doesn't own a NB. He likes to think he does, but unless his name is Tracey I don't think so .....:lol:

Try the classic vee dub website, they did have a prestige euro section which has all bits for the newbies. My cabrio has clear tailights and has been lowered with chrome exhaust and 18 inch wheels. The chrome bits and pieces look hot, especially the door trims


foxy_fuchsia - August 30th, 2008 at 04:25 PM

mscabrio thanku :) hahaha I reakon he may be a lil jealous ;) lol

I will definately get onto classic veedub coz i wanna accessorise baby! I looooooooove chrome.
