A wonderful shot of Samantha. I used to have a red 1967 VW beetle named Watson. Great little cars. V

Roland		26-Apr-2015 22:51
Seeing this makes me wish I kept the '61, 67, 70 Beetles I owned over many years. Thanks for the memory Tom! V

Not a car you see here much any more but one of great historical importance. Well shot with wonderful reflections in the chrome and so well framed by the trees. Voted

Nice one Tom. I mean both photo and "bug". I bought four of these over a span of some 10 years. Kept the last one (a 72model) for 10 years. Great car.

I used to drive one of these many many years ago... lovely to see! v
