Questions historie A Modell

[DougVieyra]

Questus, I too use a VW as my daily 'driver'. Mine is a '69 VW 'Bug', which I bought new in 1969. I have driven it constantly since it was new, 48 years ago. Over here they were informally called either 'Bug' or 'Beetle'. As my 1969 VW is painted Konigsrot (Royal Red) and it resembles our red "Lady Bug", it is called a 'Bug'.
However - the way we wash our cars in the U.S., is different than how you wash your cars in Germany. I guess we have fewer elephants.
As I drive my vintage air-cooled VW daily, I know how much joy your VW gives you. And too, as I drive my Model A frequently, I know too, just how much you will enjoy your new adventure driving and playing with your new Ford Model A.
- With my best regards, Doug Vieyra, Eureka, California USA

Hi Bill !
Pep-Boys' steering wheel cover... I dont understand ... ?? what do you mean ?
I`m a hot rod fan, but you cant register a hot rod as historical car in Germany (for that tax and insurance where very cheep here!)
if you Change the Brakes or the axle - accordance to the power you must do that - the authoritys dont like that as historic car!
thats the Facts why .... I`m a HOT ROD (5,8 litres V8 ...) fan but I have no car! it is ok! (FORD F1 >250 PS v8 4 Discs daily Driver.....)

The "Pep Boys" (Manny Moe and Jack) is a chain of auto accessory stores here in the US and some things they sell have their name on them. I don't know if you use the word "Chain" (Kette) to describe many stores under one name, but it a common expression here in the states.
