October Feature
A new Super feature every month
Super Bug from 'Straya' - Owner: Evan Ademovic
G'day
from Oz! This is my '72 1302 Super Beetle named "Bumblebee". When
I'm not tinkering with him, Bumbles is puttering around NSW, driving around
western Sydney and going for cruises to the beach with long boards strapped
to his roof.
Bumblebee
has a special little badge on his dashboard, showing that he's a Limited
Edition "15 Millionth Collectors Bug". Which would be the only
type of Special Edition Bug to be sold in Australia. The Canary Yellow paint
is evidence of an older restoration, and yes he's got some rust here and
there, but he's still a solid little beast.
Last
year he took home a 1st place trophy for unmodified Volkswagen Beetles at
the Aussie Volkswagen Nationals. Bumbles sees lots of smiles and waves,
a few punches and cheers as the bright yellow 51 year old hunk of steel
still rolls down the streets of 'Straya'. Being an Australian Beetle, it
was the first year to have the high back seats and the last year with an
unpadded dash. He's a fun little cruiser!
