So i was up early on a lovely Sunny Monday morning.... decided that Im driving a Cal looker this week, nipped out to the garage, fired up Don's car, took for a wash, then went too work, had a couple of meetings so it was fun just driving a bug again, seeing kids and adults at the lights saying "look its a beetle" filled up with fuel and now parked in drive awaiting tomorrows adventure...great fun.

Will post some more photos over the week of any outings we have  Wink

Ps Don, thanks for a great car, i love it pure and simple.

That's all fine and dandy, Russell. But did you sport the correct shorts on your drive? Surely the car was sold with a pair??

If you knew Don, you'd understand. You've probably seen him and didn't know who it was.
