I made enquiries about this beetle way back in December '07, but it was $11k at the time but with the shipping and taxes was out of my budget.

The big question is why is it still for sale? It looks spot on to me, and fairly priced too, but he just can't shift it.... WTF?

I'm tempted to buy it just to find out what the problem is.

the moment it goes BOOM when you hit the loud pedal.


PRICELESS.

:lol:

Boom or bang?

 

[56oval]

i think your right theres definately plenty of "bang" for your buck potential there.

anyway a boom is waaaay better than a bang, a bang can be anything, but a boom is always definately catastrophic. lol

smashing car alright! you would have to de a right dick to put that shit on the dash though + that steering wheel is sick

i cant believe everyone hates the steering wheel....





...i thought it wouldd just be me

gives you a look into the mindset of the owner though, maybe theres other similarly naff stuff done to it that could explain the slow sale?

or maybe its just been raped and abused...

Think I figured it out............
The tracking seems to be slightly off.
Looks like the car is pulling to the left a bit in that clip. :blink:
