Has started making noises about a new car and top of the list is a VW Bettle anyone have any experience of these ?
I have seen a few for around the 7/8k mark 3/4 yrs old avergae mileage.
The Elise still hasn't shifted so in 2 minds wither just to chop it in against one and get something for myself later.

I have driven one a couple of times, not a bad car quiet, solid etc.
BUT - I had no idea where the corners of the car are, and it was really REALLY difficult to park - its like sitting in the middle of a bubble.
You`ll look camper than a row of tents driving it though. ..

I get that impression of the driving position from just looking at it and I'm unsure wither the missus will be confident driving/parking if thats the case.
I won't be driving it, I have my FREE Astra 1.7CDTi van haha until I find something else to take the Elise's place

It's amazing how the threads on here change from looking at a beetle into employing a gimp

WOW WOW WOW bitchy rrraaarrrrrr...... I suggested chopping the Elise in NOT her
Easy way to move it on, if not I'll hold off and chop it for my next car if it doesn't shift in the next 7days.
was going to buy a golf convertible in Gold but they look sh*t
