Two very different Volkswagens. The cool sports-car is a Porsche replica, built from a Volkswagen 1200 from 1965. The second photo shows a 1960 Beetle convertible. The woman behind the wheels is called Elisabeth. She works at my favorite cafe in Handen. The car is in mint condition and belongs to her son.
I'm a VW fan and would be happy to be driving either of these great car!
ReplyDeleteReally pretty both of them!
ReplyDeleteTwo beautiful cars in their own way, you've captured a really good atmosphere in these pictures Steffe.
ReplyDeleteThe little convertible is wonderful. I am impressed that they maintained it so well.
ReplyDeleteThere is a strange game that we play in Australia where the first person to see a classic beetle shouts 'Punch Buggy' and then punches the nearest person in the arm (hard as possible)! Yes very strange but I often wonder if it is just in Australia or in other places.
ReplyDeleteThis stupidity is so wide spread amongst the youth that the term bettle or bug or even VW means nothing, the are simply 'punch buggies'.
By the way that is a classic VW that I would love to own.
Ha, that is a weird game Mark.
ReplyDeleteGreat shots. Interesting "Porsche" but the mint bug is cool.
ReplyDeleteDarryl and Ruth :)
A couple of great looking cars that would be fun to drive.
ReplyDeleteElegance and tradition!
ReplyDeleteo boy, hard to choose!
ReplyDeletei've see the same car,the 1st(porsche) here in milan today,and a beetle with the front of the rolls royce...
ReplyDeleteI have many memories of freezing in a beetle in the winter and having to scrape the inside of the windshield but would love to have that convertible for a summer ride!
ReplyDeleteVery nice photos.
ReplyDeleteCan you send BHB183 my way.
ReplyDeleteSure thing Joe!
ReplyDeleteYou can say that those cars are a dynamic duo! XD They have the same name, but they have a different style of impressiveness. A feat worthy of praise, don't you think?
