    My Uncle had a 72 Westphalia in red. We had a couple of adventures to the White Mountains of New Hampshire in 1973 and 74. We were teenagers at the time...aahhh...such memories... and how about the sound of that Drag car!!! This was really a great experience , and inside look for any VDUB guru!

    Can't say I'm really a VW kind of guy, but I enjoyed this very much, and can appreciate the vehicles and feel the passion.

    Another soul cleansing episode. I had that "Who are you?" moment. At a garden party many years ago, a Camel cigarette liveried helicopter lands in the garden, a fellow gets out, walks over to the boss of the company I was working for, they shake hands and start chatting away, later in the buffet que I asked said fellow what he did since he'd turned up in a helicopter, "I'm a racing driver" Oh that's interesting, who do you drive for? Tyrrell, he said. It was Jonathan Palmer.

    Not orange Gary, I believe it's called Clementine. My Dad had a series of new Beetles in the 60s and then a 1600 fastback in 1971, ours was white with carburetors but I remember the orange colour and it being called Clementine.

    Super Beetle has a longer front end and bigger trunk. My grandfather owned a brand new '71 that he kept mint until he passed away in the 80's.

    'How do you get a gearbox on a plane?' 😂 - possibly the funniest, most incisive question I have heard in years but also asked with purpose I suspect. Nobody wants to FedEx a gearbox 😂.
