Drove my mates vee for the 1st time last night, I was quite impressed :approve:

 

[DanFreemanPhoto]

What was no. 1?

What was no. 1?

1946 Volkswagen Beetle: it's the world's best selling car, despite the fact that it was slow, noisy, cramped and rotted profusely - and costly too. Which just proves that over 20 million people can be wrong.

For those intrested the list was compiled by this mob >>>

Eh? In 1946 it was an awesome car. Main selling point was its affordability.

Im surprised they havnt got 'horse and cart'. Needs regular refuelling with hay and makes a mess on the road. What a bunch of numpties.

Do these people know anything about cars!!

Clearly...ask most Vee owners, the majority have another 'fun' car, as the V6 isn't about binning about in, its more about the 'occasion' and attention the car gets.

I can vouch for that, take 1 drunk V6 owner, put him into the passenger seat & drive him to a party talk about ego trip lol!

Although I must say it's very easy to put the owner back in his place with a 2nd gear corner and a "watch this" moment :rasp:

meh! Imo the Vee is a crackin handling wee car. Just needs another 100 brake.
