Original VW Beetle, them were the days.
Flat four air cooled petrol that sounded like a diesel.
Top speed of 88mph, eventually.
28mpg.
Cabin heater that put yer t'sleep behind the wheel, cos the exhaust inner skin would have rotted through so exhaust was pumped into the cabin.
A radio if yer were lucky, would crackle like eck, but it didn't matter as yer couldn't hear it over the engine anyway.
In winter there was as much ice on inside of the screen as outside.
A passion wagon that would do yer back in.
There was a trend a while back to name kids after where they were conceived, would've been a bit unkind to call the eldest Beetle though.
