    The people that bought the beetle are my parents and I assure all of you that they will take amazing care of the beetle! They’ve been looking after our ‘Doris’ a t2 that’s in mint condition after all the work my dad has put into it!

Pretty sweet cars there. I have been seeing a few other videos from folks who went as well. Love seeing the slammed busses, they look so cool. I would never drop mine that low, so it's cool to see other people do it for me. jaaa😁

Well done you two. Hopefully you got some inspiration for the 356 as it’s time to crack on with that again!
