You're preaching to the choir here, Marc - I'm the guy who thinks Marshall's M4's are prettier than Farah... On VW's, obviously VW agrees with you. My experience has soured me on Beetles, though - I blew a brake cylinder seal on a '64 while driving in traffic. When I got the dashboard out of my lap I vowed to never drive another one. Kind of like getting an M6 with a bad pressure plate... Paul Chefurka
