Show us your cars

Yeah captain, the sound on your Beetle will be down to the tailpipe on the exhaust, that type acts like a megaphone :LOL: , shame you dont like it though, i think it look's cool :cool: , lowered cars do tend to look cool but the drawback is the ride comfort suffers, years ago i had a 71 Beetle which was lowered, learned to dodge pot holes, if i drove through a dip in the road i'd get bounced out the seat though :LOL: , my Beetle had the same type exhaust as yours too.

Love Alfa's too, the GTV's are superb, also love to own an early Alfasud, idealy a Cloverleaf with the twin Webered boxer four motor, they sound awesome but so many have rotted away, had a 98 155 Twinspark last year, great thing to drive, very expensive for parts though.

Like Top gear said, your not a true petrolhead until you've owned an Alfa :)
 
re:

I had an 155 super 2.0 ts to an 97 forgot about that one, it was really good to drive, but mine acted up and I traded it for a bmw 750 (v12) that was a big mistake...

I drove the bug lowered for a while but, it was unbareble after a while, now it's a bit higher but it still look hardcore cause of the wheels and a cool "GT" sticker in the back. I was thinking of striping it as a rally car, that would be cool. But to be honest I'm thinking about selling it for around 1500-1700euros and get a Jag xj, saab aero or an alfa insted. Saabs are really good to, it's pretty ease to make them even more fun to...
 
Driving a bug gives a lot of time to think :D
Mine has 6V electric system - that is why it has a low mileage (hardly starts when needed).
On rainy days you have to make a choice - either wipers or headlamps on :D
 
Ha ha .... I have something to offer in the way of Beetles and All things German !! Well at least I did have if im honest !!!

Sold my favorite little toy a while back which I dont regret so much as just miss the f*ck out of it !! Had to go as it was impractical and basically an early mid-life crisis of mine !!! Still, well chuffed to say I had a good couple of years of totally ego-tystical driving :D :D Ha ha ....

No really though, I bought it as im a true petrol head who really understands why these kinds of cars are made !! I had true moments of 100% happiness driving it through the country lanes of the South Downs !! Not a care or worry in the world !! Miss you ........

for me it looks like a beetle but is more flat :LOL:
6V or 12V electrics?
Joking, I am just jealous for any of these flat sixes :D
 
Ha ha .... 6v x 2 (Well two sets of dizzys anyway) !! Was a lovely engine that flat 6 with Varioram !! Only 285bhp as standard but took it all the way up to 174mph registered by GPS !! Beat a 2006 M3 all the way up to 160mph then he backed down with towel between legs only around 20 cars or so back :D :D

Bahhhh.... Gonna start crying now :cry: Next mid-life crisis coming soon no doubt !!!
 
Was the Car scene that took over from the bikes for me...........
