I sold her some chair backs back in the mid 90's. I was a little star struck so naturally l asked for her autograph.

I could be cruel but instead I'll just say "you are missing an experience" with a Beetle.
You probably won't drive it with gusto like you would if it was your own so I'll characterise the rear end as interesting with over achievable amounts of oversteer at low speeds.

Hooray for being a 5 car family!!! Yes that's right, l can even take my VW T2 campervan in with no trouble.
Also, can't tip, we'll fly tip. Or just burn it in the back garden.
Come back tomorrow for more top tips from me, Stu.

Or murder. And then eat that 6th person.
Then you could pick up a hitchhiker and repeat at the next sleepover.
Fun for all the family.

I don't want to be pedantic but the headlights don't pop out of the bonnet. It would look very different if they did.

Cheese n rice. This is both hilarious and sadly unsettling that 2 powerful grown men can behave in this way on the world stage.
Anyway, I'm getting fat from all the popcorn I'm eating.

Indeed they are. I've got myself into some motoring mayhem that way.

Well it is sort of returning dinosaur innards back to the ground from where it was extracted.

Someone should get him seen by a fake doctor. That Adam's apple looks to have a lump on it.

2025 Volvo: The saviour of millions.
2035 Volvo: The killer of thousands.
It's another electronic device that will fail in its circuitry and wiring like 10+ year-old cars are doing today.

If any tyre maker needs an idiot to test, I'd give it a go.

Oh yes, the wet. Funny enough, it's wet out today and that didn't cross my mind.
That said l was in the Berlingo so pace is best described as 'glacial'.

How strange that you say this. I was driving to the DIY store today wondering if, with the standard fitment of ABS and improvements in breaking on cars, do they need 1.6mm as a minimum or can they not go back to 1mm?
It would save a lot of waste.

That's interesting to know.

Only tyre I've known do that so quickly.
I have to say I'm also noticing it with Bridgestone's on the Jazz. 5 years in and they are cracking
The 10 year old Continental's on the rear are still looking up to the job.

They were hard to look at compared to the competition or even in-house competition.
Or ahead of the game. See BMW.

Typical of a Michelin tyre.
Good tyres but the one brand l find perished quickly.

Seriously......
Did they not know they could just unplug the sensor? Admittedly running the risk of terminal engine damage but even so. To DRILL through the dials is a new "WTF" for me.

There is one word in all of this that should make people sit up and think.....hang on......
"Artificial"
We are told artificial sweeteners, food colourings, flavours enhancers etc are bad for you and yet here we are listening and reading to someone artificial.

I think it's because people have moved on because this has been dragging along for some time.
I however thought this is why you never lie for your employer because they will soon throw you to the wolves.

The wires running around the floor just adds a touch of sensational visual splendor.
I think you're being harsh on this fabulous accessory.

It has quite an impressive engine bay.

The Maestro was even worse. They needed several different metal pressings when they fitted the metal bumpers. Why??

The wheels aside, that is rather nice looking but l can't take my eyes off the Meastro switch gear.

Economies of scale. It has been happening for far longer than we realised.
VW were doing it since the 60's.
PSA from 1976
Fiat from the 70's
Ford global in the 70's
Most of the US makers in the 70's
