My 1st car that I owned was a 73 Super Beetle. I am 50 now and I am currently working on a 75 1303 GL. My wife says that I am trying to recapture my past but what she doesn't know is that this car will be faster than the past could ever be. I just want to drive the car the way it should have been built in the 1st place. I can't wait to get on the road and eat some rice.:cool:

Let's just say I'm older than all 5 of my VW's, but they all have ball joints.:D

im younger than all of u. :silly:

Older than my 1971 by 5 years. It's been in my family since 1972, I used to ride in the very back luggage area! I am older than some younger than others! 37 years old the day after last bug is built.

I'm 9 years younger than my Bug ('66), 4 years younger than my Girlfriend's Bug ('71) and two years younger than my "Turnip" ('73)

I'm a child of the '80s. I still have a cheez-metal rock band haircut.

Too Old, But having Fun
 

What Can I say, I was in High School whe my Super Beetle was born, but in those days I drove a 57 Chevy V-8, then proceeded to VW Fomula Vee race car before moving unto Formula Ford race cars.

Well let me see, I am 40.....ish; as we get older we get a little sensitive to the age thing, but being and honesty christian guy OK... 48 years young.

Actually MY Super Beetle project is really for my daughter and she was born in 1982 so the Super is 10 years older than her. But then again I am not too sure I will want her to drive the Super that much. Since I am planning and securing the parts needed to start phase two of this project with a 2.0L type IV with some type of forced induction maybe a blower or turbo after I do my
homework and then build myself another powerplant. Yes I am really 48 and having some VW fun.

What's the old line? ...."old enough to know better, too young to care", or maybe "I'm just "more mature".

Anyway, my body and my split body share a birthday.........:behind:

Hahahaaa what a smilie :silly:
:doh:

Yeah, my groups in the lead 19-29...... JR

Yeah, my groups in the lead 19-29...... JR:silly:

yikes I feel old! But I remember seeing "Herbie" when it first came out at the old Grauman's Chinese Theatre in Hollywood...
and the hot wheels vw was the hardest car to get, but I still have mine and now I have a full-sized one too!

Age
 

:) Hi All
I am the same age as my Bug.
We are both 61 models...
Sometimes I wonder which one of us is holding their age better...!
At least she has had a bit of a face lift since she has lived with me.
Pity I can't say the same!!
And she is the one getting all the compliments too...
