true love?

[Lee_P]

some of you might remember me moaning about whats the point in added to our saxos

after much sould searching ive found my personal answer

you see i kinds just fell towards saxos what with them being the hot hatch that they are

but the other day i was at the garage and daw a car that i couldnt stop looking at i was in love there and then i wanted one

the urge for old cars has crept up on me with me liking the character more and more

so i am seriusly considering getting an old VW beetle and doind it hot rod stylee even with the possibility of putting a porsche engine in it

so there you go my good rasnt over

what you reckon lol:oops:

[Karl]

I reckon, how old are you?

[Lee_P]

22 lol

[Ste]

But a big silver bump strip on the saxo....


job done.

[Jacko]

i hate vw beetles....hate is an understaement...

[Lee_P]

there like marmite love em or hate em

arent you fed up with a saxo being round every corner espeicly with everyone now clocking onto what makes them look nice smoked lights front and back dimma grill yarda yarda

can you have a mid life crisis at 22? lmao

[Karl]

Most Saxo's round here are dog crap anyways...

[Lee_P]

heres another problem if i get a beetle asa project car thats more money im spendind on mods so isnt exactly curing my originak moan is it

[Scattle]

Pretty cool project imo.

[Karl]

true,
plus with older cars, theyre always needing silly stuff done to them.

+ theyre old.

+ it'll be dog slow (if its like some 1.3)

+ have you got an insurance quote on a custom beetle, with a custom paint job with a custom Porsche engine fitted?

:p

[Lee_P]

nah im just dreamin at the mo but i cant get that stoooopid car out my head at the garage

[Scattle]

Be excellent if you went through with it.

[Lee_P]

OMG i vw beetle my cousins wife has just bought one of these they are the biggest load of shite to come form vw i would say!! how can you possibly like them mate there bollocks!!!!:n: :n: :n:

[VTR_Nick]

VW beetle - not a fan mate. As you say there like marmite, you either love it or you hate it and i hate it lol

[Karl]

1.) Rust,
2.)Silly repair bills,
3.)Style? what you might think is cool, a set of hottys may beg to differ..

[Hanuman]

i hate vw beetles....hate is an understaement...

couldnt agree any more

[Raz]

OMG i vw beetle my cousins wife has just bought one of these they are the biggest load of shite to come form vw i would say!! how can you possibly like them mate there bollocks!!!!:n: :n: :n:
people have diff opinions dude, not everyone will like what you do lol

me personally, im with you, dont like the beetles, but its up to him....be good to see something different

[vtr_driver]

I love em!! They're awesome!! Subaru engine is a lot easier than porsche engine. Porsche engine is huge amounts of work and is to heavy! Even a NA Subaru engine is gunna make it a rapid car!

[Wayne]

i reckon it would a great project:)

[vidal]

It's actually a great idea, go for it.

I was doing up a 1978 Dolomite Sprint until the project got binned following a barn collapse - search if you are interested. Older cars will have a rarity value, and dependent on what route you take, the owner's clubs are usually very supportive - just don't ask bone questions on their forums though, some people take it very seriously.

If it's an old Beetle, consider going as old as possible, then look at either the Baja Buggy conversion or for a real challenge go down the concours route.

Whatever you choose - good luck.

And as to the other question -

can you have a mid life crisis at 22? lmao

Yes, but only if you die at 44.

[KIRKSTER-VTS]

HERBIE ftw :P rear wheel drive porsche engine , doing wheelies down the street :y:

[JBVTR]

We had a black one in the family for years i realy like them and know just where your coming from when you talk about character sounds daft but i even liked the way it smelt like a proper carie (new word) smell. 1970 beetle airfreshener ftw lol

wouldt mind a 2.8 capri brooklands one day myself :y:
