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. .. :lol:

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 :twisted:

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

WOW WOW WOW bitchy rrraaarrrrrr...... I suggested chopping the Elise in NOT her :wink:

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 :P
