There's only one beetle worth having.... And it's not my wife's metalic brown one.

I'm going to build one of these when I grow up... Actually, someone has just left a new welder in my garage. We're 0.001% there already. Just need some money and talent now.

I'm all for chopping up Beetles, but ruining a 240 wagon like that is just sacrilege.

Looks like a Saab 96 not a Beetle.

That reminds me of a joke I heard- Small boy says to his mum 'When I grow up I'm going to be a musician in a band' to which his mum replies 'Sorry you have you make a choice, musician or grow up, you can't do both.
I fear it may be the same with building cars. So perhaps refuse to grow up.

I feel sorry for the 240 if it is a beetle having a pile of sh1te like that stuck to it.

You are 100% right, and as a serial v4 owner I am ashamed it slipped past me. It's still bleedin hideous though. I did love my 95s and 96s, huge fun!!
