    Thank you for the video I can understand that only too well. Three years ago I started welding a 1960 VW Beetle. It stood outdoors under a roof in the firewood for 35 years. I got him with the trailer and thought about putting him in the garden. The engine could still be turned by hand. In the afternoon I drove it around the garden and realized that it had to get back on the road.

      Well, those are not the strongest points, most vehicles are much better than this vehicle because we're talking about a 60s car, the beetle is not about power, neither comfort, is about feelings, every noise that the car makes or the vibrations you feel in your hands and your body are the strongest points of that car and that's truly better than any vehicle
