Hey Peter, yeh I'm into them too!
Have always been into them since i can remember - my Dad and uncle have had loads and so did my grandad.
My Grandmothers father was in the British Engineers during World War II when the British came across the Kubelwagen for the first time and they've pretty much been in the family since then!
Bought my first car about 6 months ago - she's a '75 Nepal Orange Sunroof Beetle - bonestock (at the moment) only 62k miles! Still own her now, and i daresay i shall for a long while! (in my Sig) Might get some more pics up shortly..

I think you mean Richie Webb's bug - i agree, it's crazy!
I'm not trying to big VW's up, or put Fords down - but i think many Ford owners would be surprised by the potential an old VW has performance-wise.. especially on the drag-strip.
I'm glad someone else on here is into them aswell as Fords though! Good show!
