Alert - newbie with an oldie...

[Tim 62]

Hi all, just thought I'd introduce myself :)

I've got a '62 air-cooled bug myself but managed to convince my girlfriend to get a new one a few months back... well ok, it didn't take much convincing really ;)

Anyway, it's an '01 1.6 in yellow - I'll post some pics after I've collected her new wheels tomorrow evening :D

Sorry for the crap photo - finished bolting them on at about 10 tonight and whipped the camera phone out :D Better ones tomorrow in the lgiht! They are 18" Tooras (T590s I think...)

Love the rag - it's gorgeous!

New wheels are ace too!!! They were ones I was considering when I was looking for wheels for mine - they look ace on yellow!

Nice bugs. Love the Rag-top, nice stance.

Ohh, welcome :-)

:cool: Bugs. What are the wheels on the '62 :confused: They look more recessed than normal :cool:

[Tim 62]

Thanks muchly - had my bug 10yrs this summer, and done 2 restos on it in that time :confused: The rear wheels are stock rims banded out to about 8", instead of 4.5" original iirc. Running 205 width tyres out back with stock 155s up front. I love 'em and couldn't go back to stock skinny rears now :D

Well pleased with the wheels on the newbie, which is a relief as I suggested them but wasn't the one paying ;) The bug will mostly be spotted parked at least a foot from the kerb from now on, lol.
