Driving my '66 VW Beetle

[jorologo]

Finest in German Engineering and so true when you say that an Air Cooled Engine must take time to warm up before driving.

At 1:46 you have a dent on the Right Front Wing in exactly the spot where I have a dent on the same panel of my 68 Bug.

Your Bug sounds strong and mighty.

Awesome.

@jorologo Thanks! it's got dents on the rear fender too that was caused by ice falling off a roof when it was parked next to a garage in winter. i've got more recent videos of this car if you search my videos, and i'll be having more coming up :)

Stewarts! You must here in NY

[InfiniteMushroom]

The mark of a real air-cooled VW owner. He lets the engine warm up first!

[coolbluelights]

Yes! thank you!

lol i always wondered where the gas tank was on those damn cars. lol is there enough space to put some decent size sub woofers in there?

[Bladeserpent]

lol, sure, behind the back seat

I remember that my dad told me that these cars got 2 position on air condition. Cold and Ice cold :D Only when the temperature was below -10C (14F), maybe his car were broken or something. :D

Hahha^^ yeah I'm planning on making an updated driving video when we get nice weather, I had to cut this one very short because at the time youtube only allowed 100 mb videos, and I didn't know you could compress them :P

classic VW didn't have air condition back then. i have a 1970 VW they only had heat. the engine is cooled by air not water. they do have air condition kits for the VW but they are very expensive last time i checked

[popsiepussycat]

Find the gears dont grind em love! I just love the sound of aircooled... I drive along with a big smile on my face in my bug... my vdub mates understand but my straight mates have no idea what I am on about! sad or what! lol

[orangepequi]

I absolutely love when my VW winds down when I turn it off. Can hear every cylinder motion to the very last one.

[coolbluelights]

Absoloutely!! ^.^

[mofaaksl90]

YESS!! A 66... all these ones till 67 are fuckin great :D

[coolbluelights]

yup, I agree 100% I love it :D

[mofaaksl90]

when i was 11 years old I learned how to drive a car with manual transmission in a 96 mex bug (1600i), when we were in Mexico for holidays :D

So the bug was my "first" car xD (here in germany we can only drive with 18 years :( )

Whatever, my father drove a 72' 1200 Bug as his first car, when he was young :D

So since then, I have to like Bugs a lot....

[coolbluelights]

Nice :) in US the driving age is 16

[mofaaksl90]

I know... And I'm jealous :D

[coolbluelights]

well the drinking age is 21 ;)

[mofaaksl90]

oh that sucks :D here you can drink beer and stuff with 16 and harder alcoholic drinks like wodka with 18

[americanmuscleof1969]

I like the beetle. 66 and 67's are my favorite years for the vw beetle. I like the song, who is it by?

[coolbluelights]

Sniffin the tears "Drivers seat" a one hit wonder of the 70s

[skatepopwar182]

Is it titles has a 1966 ?

[coolbluelights]

yes it is 1966, the previous owner put the different engine in it.

[skatepopwar182]

is that the original 1300cc engine ?

[coolbluelights]

No, 1500cc 1967 Engine :-)

[americanmuscleof1969]

Great video. You did a great job filming while shifting, and putting on turn signals and steering.

[coolbluelights]

Thanks! I thought so! :D
