Ok you VW fans out there, I am going to tell you about my lovely 1969 beetle called Bluebell.

I have always wanted one ever since I went to the vw festival in Margam park last year (2006) after seeing all the bugs and camper vans I fell in love.

My dear husband said that if I was to sell my car I could have one for my 30th birthday, so I put my car on eBay and sold it straight away, then we had a look in the free ads and came across a bug and phoned the guy immediately and went straight up there.

We made our way to Cardiff and law and behold we got lost (typical husband) by this time it was getting really late and concerned that the bloke might not appreciate us going to see it so late, but he was a very nice and agreed to meet us in a shopping park.

We didn’t wait too long when we heard a loud noise coming from the distance, it was music to my ears, as it came closer I could see it, it was MY BUG .

I couldn’t have been more thrilled, it was metallic blue and in perfect condition -which is very rare for a 1969 beetle, it had been well looked after, now I am not an expert to say the least but was advised previously before hand by a friend of ours (who has a beetle) that if the body underneath was rusty then stay away, and other things too.

After good examination and a test drive- which I have to say was hard, because if you haven’t driven an old car before (without power steering) then it is hard. We took the baby home, or should I say my husband drove it as I wasn’t used to driving it yet.

We woke up next day and was really excited at the thought of a bug was sitting in my drive.

My car has:

Alloy wheels
1.2 litre engine
Recaro seats.
It has carpets .
Lowered suspension.
Zoom tube (exhaust)

There isn’t much you can say anything much about it other than it has no rust and it purrrrrrrrs like a kitten a very large one lol.

Bad points

The only downfall I have with it is that it has no seatbelts in the back, so I couldn’t travel with kids at all, which is something I am planning on doing in the next few months, so in the meantime my husband has been driving it to work and I have at to have courtesy shit car (due to my car accident) instead.

Good points.

Are that is very cheap on petrol, its is tax exempt and only costs me £100 a year insurance.

I am now looking forward to the next VW festival in Margam park in August and this time I will be taking my own little cherub with me, My little Bluebell.
