VW Beetle | Spotted

If I’m being honest, my initial reasoning for plumping for a classic Volkswagen Beetle 1300 was nothing more than trouble making: I knew it’d wind up Nic Cackett. He hates Beetles. In fairness, this is a position I can completely relate to. When my mate Adam, who was the eldest of our group, passed his test before the rest of us, he bought one. Therefore I spent a lot of time in it. It was a shiny, red 1300, and I hated it.

Now, the other thing that vinyl is well-known for is its peculiar property of flitting between absolute zero and the temperature at the surface of the sun. And just in case your skin hadn’t been entirely melted away by or stuck to the seat material, the heat exchangers would finish the job off with their inept input to the in-car climate.

Here I am highlighting the bloody Beetle. And not just it to annoy NNC, as it happens. I am writing about the Beetle – or Bug, Bubbla, Boblen, Coccinelle, Foxi, Käfer, Poncho, Pulgaor, Volk, or whatever name you know it by, depending on where you hail from in the world – because over the three decades since I first learned to hate it, I've learned to like it. I am not sure when this happened, exactly, but sometime over the last five years or so I’ve started wanting one.
