Hey! Did some trading around recently and got me a '69 bug. Didnt think i'd ever own one but now that i do i love it. I was reading some forums online and stumbled on this one and I'm glad to see some locals with the same interests as i do. well here's a pic of my bug and I'll be looking forward to being a member of this forum. thanks.
