Just wondering - did this bug live for a while behind a cottage near Middleton with a beach buggy and another blue beetle? Just curious...
@kvinyl ,it did indeed ,if you knew the beetle you would have known the money spent on it,in fairness to previous owner .
Yep, thats the one, didn't think there were too many about with air suspension
Don't know the car too well or indeed the previous owner but it did look well when I had a good look over a while back. Incidentally, I subsequently owned the blue bug that was parked alongside and it's now owned by beetlebug on here...small world...
I remember talking to Damian who owned the blue bug (ex Padraig, ex Shane, ex Tanya, now Liams) and he mentioned at the time that he had a bug with hydraulic front suspension. I never saw the bug in question, I'm surprised that it has now turned up!
It must have been 1999 or 2000 when I spoke to him, long time ago now. So did Humphrey work on this bug too?
