G'day,
Newbie to the Forum and to the world of VeeDubs, however I have always had a big soft spot for them.
I am hoping to start looking for my first beetle ealry in the new year and thought now would be a good time to join up on the forum and learn a bit
more about them.
I am hoping to pick up a mid 60's model and use it as my daily driver + weekend cruiser for the family.
Cheers,
Dan

Cheers Lee,
There's something about the shape of the earlier models that does it for me.
I do like alot of the later models aswell, but being a bit of an old skool guy, I think i'll end up with something pre-68.
Just gotta get over Christmas and sell my other toys to accomodate the new one!
