Drillslinger Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Just heard on the radio that VW's last new Beetle will be coming off the line sometime this week, then going straight to the Museum in Wolfsburg Huh??

s4dreamer Posted July 30, 2003 Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Do they mean the last old beetle ? Haven't VW just stopped production of the old beetle in Mehico - maybe they got confused - or maybe I am ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Drillslinger Posted July 30, 2003 Author Report Share Posted July 30, 2003 Hmmm, I think we can get off on a technicality, as my original subject refered to the "New" Beetle, whereas our discussion quickly turned to the "Old" model Oh yeah, and from me too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fignon21 Posted August 4, 2003 Report Share Posted August 4, 2003 Shouldn't it be the "new last new old beetle" or "slightly old last new old beetle"? Seriously, there is a company in Arizona that takes old 1974 beetle floor pans and builds brand new old style beetles with the air cooled engine and all. So this would be a "new new old old beetle".

shao_khan Posted August 5, 2003 Report Share Posted August 5, 2003 I thought this thread got locked........ Apparently you know, those 'old' beetles are fairly easy to egt a scooby turbo engine into - now that would be fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
