well b4 vdubs there was nothing --my da and grandad both had vdubs beugs,t2 &t25 's so ive always been into them -ok no so much the scene i did have a temporary insanity problem where i went off onto fords and the like but sure enuff we got into the position where we could afford to get a bug and get into the scene
in terms of cars wasnt into anything hardcore like bugs now!
id always wanted a bug or a mini and i wanted it to be purple with lime green spots well im half way there its metalic purple maybe at some point i will
get round to doing the spots!!
what do ya all reckon!!?
Started driving in 1989.
My first car was an X-reg XR3i, which I wrote off.
My second car was an X-reg XR3, which I wrote off.
My third car was an A-reg mk3 Escort 1.6 ghia with an XR3 engine, which I wrote off.
After my first year of driving, and 3 crashes, I couldn't afford to insure anything at all. So went round in a mini 1275gt.
In 1996, after my premiums dropped to an affordable level, and a good few cars later, I went to see about a mk2 Astra GTE. The guy had a bright orange '72 1200 parked next to it.
It was love at first sight and I ended up buying that. Which I wrote off.
Still have a motor bike, had 2 yrs without a bike and it was like purgatory, thought of seling my current one but had the first ride of the year yesterday, will be commuting on it for a while whilst the beetle is tweaked and glossed
