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!

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! The photos don't do it justice..... the paint is AMAZING in the sun! nn[ Edited on 11/8/2005 by Pretty_Blue_Bug ] |

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 !

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... |

Hi again.....
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
Lee

Thanx Greenbug70!
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! |
