But many times the heater was not working, so it was rather cold in winter.Peterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01197108331214049357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567813748978904720.post-57434340234227572522016-09-21T17:36:02.443-03:002016-09-21T17:36:02.443-03:00My first new car was a 1970 VW bug.

It was the first of 6 Beetles I had over the years. An oncoming driver made a left turn in front of me in Stratford Ontario and that resulted in my Beetle being totalled in 65. Drove my blue Beetle to Sarasota Florida and back in the summer of 1964. When in the Navy I bought a white Beetle in Halifax and drove it home to Tavistock Ontario. In 1971 I drove another one of my Beetles out to Vernon BC in the Okanagan Valley whereupon I rolled it down an embankment because of black ice on the highway. I drove another one with no first gear out to Manitoba and back. I also head 2 VW Camper vans and a Carman Ghia while a friend of mine drove an old gray Porsche. I am a big Beetle fan with a head full of crazy Beetle memories. I just loved those things. Long live the Beetle:))Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567813748978904720.post-33609134415126909312016-09-21T11:15:57.881-03:002016-09-21T11:15:57.881-03:00I loved them I had a 1959, 1960 Beetle, 1973 Super...I loved them I had a 1959, 1960 Beetle, 1973 Super beetle and a 1974 Beetle for spare parts for my 1973. they were all great cars but very cold in the Canadian winters.our awesome travelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031755671050584629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3567813748978904720.post-69688355853626036872016-09-21T11:04:01.908-03:002016-09-21T11:04:01.908-03:00The rear split window beetle is sought after today...The rear split window beetle is sought after today.
