I'm 50, had my first beetle when I was 17 and have always had at least one except for one very short period of about 6 weeks when I emigrated 19
years ago.

58----First beetle in 1969 when the beetle I have now was only 7.
Oldest--AAArrrgh--- and I thought it was me--- still I can take comfort in knowing I'm still older than god.

of year. It's possible Mr. Purdey has been charged for the gas used up during the explosion that destroyed his house."

I hit the big 30 in 10 days. :birthday
I have never owned a car built later than 1965. My '65 notch has been my first car (owned a 1964 Ford once) and I now also have a project squareback
of the same vintage.

electricmonk, ur in trouble, just back today from heart bypass and read your "bit at the bottom" think I may have done irepairable damage to the
repairs, my lawer wants your address.
57 0r close to that. One week 2 days four hours ago I was going on for 30, now I reckon I've slipped back a bit, going on for 90, reckon it'l be
another week or so then reckon I'll be going on for 25 or so they tell me. Long as I can slide into the buggy I don't realy give a toss.
I dream of a day when a chicken can cross a road without being asked for it's motive!

LOL don't ask me what the hell happened. I got the Golf for the first wife just before I found her cheating. At that stage I still hated small cars.
She wanted me to give her the car but I kept it. I then went back to early Holdens. I then had some sort of "break from reality" and ended up
thinking Bug's looked kinda cool and progressed to Type3 Squarback lover. I keep thinking I will wake up soon and it will all turn out to be some
sort of nightmare. God, why hast thou forsaken me? The dark side is calling and her song sounds so sweet.
No if that doesn't convince you that I have lost the plot nothing will. I see nos Type3 door seals in my dreams
And they shall beat their swords into plowshares, for if you hit a man with a ploughshare, he'll know he's been hit

I'll be 41 this month. Got my bug in 2005 (must be my mid life crisis car). I can see myself owning at least one for a long time yet.
