First foray into VW's
porerraboi - March 18th, 2011 at 09:42 PM

Hi Guys & Girls, after many years of mini ownership we have finally gotten a VW to even things up. We just bought a 1970 Porerra? (at least thats what the badges say) only had it a couple days and haven't gotten any further than a quick polish and sent off for a tune.

welcome to the world of VDUBS. you may get frowned apon with your choice of VDUB, but everyone has their own opinion of what they think looks good and what doesn't. but to me a vw is a vw. doesn't matter what style it is. we are all part of the one familly :)
Hope you have many years of fun ahead with your little dub.

Welcome newbie. Don't worry about the Style Police.
Your money, your choice. Hope you enjoy your VW experience.:tu:

Welcome mate!
Your Porrera looks like it's in good nick!
Hope you enjoy the many quirks, smiles and laughs that come with owning a VW...

Not to mention the endless frowns :D

Thanks everyone, I get plenty of frowns in the mini world as I have a Rover mini (therefore not an Aus built Mini) so nothing new in a bit of frowning. Am enjoying it immensly and this forum seems to be a wealth of information. Thanks for your kinds words and am really looking forward to learning some more about the Vdubs :tu:

i personaly like these, to me it reminds all those porshe guys out there that all they got is a beetle with a bit of extra trim and a huge pricetag :smilegrin:

Welcome

Personally - I like the Porrera?? the hard top??
Still - yours certainly looks tidy. Well done
I have to say - at least your wheels fit the car

Seen a few where it doesnt work
