Good choice man. I learnt to drive on a beete (i'm 1303steve's son) and i'm glad i did. Learning without power steering and all that other stuff
really does make you a better driver. My cousin tried to drive my bug once and he could only just get it out of the driveway and gave up just up the
street and he had been driving for 3 years. It is the best way to do it. Very nice bug by the way

you carters make me laugh. in a good way. Love it 
I agree with dave, I never let my friends drive my beetle, because I know they couldn't. having said that, there are harder cars to drive... ie, 1980
mazda 626.... I thought the tires were at 2psi.. honestly, never been in a car that was harder to steer. so glad it wasnt mine. (having said tha, my
old 89 laser had tougher steering than my super....)

you should try driving an old falcon or commodore then or an old toyota boneshaker,
your arm muscles will be the envy of all these wankey bodybuilders driving excels
gotta agree with steve, superbugs are bout the safest you can get in an old bug and he wont headbutt the windscreen in an accident

Hi
Saw the bug today, its real good find.
Watch that you don't go over 2 hours driving per session on the L plates.
Imagine a other road uses seeing a swarm of bugs, all with L plates LOL
