  • A different kind of video from us this time! We take Nancy's 1967 VW Bug named Bugster, out to the town that Nancy and I grew up and met . Beautiful rural roads lead us out to our small hometown where we stop at a pub for lunch before having some trouble with old Bugster on the way home.

    As usual, great work! What a fun vid. My sister worked at Pacific U for 20+ years and my nieces worked at telvet coffee so this ignited some fond memories. Thanks!

    Awesome to finally see a video on the bug, always seen it in the background. Nothing like the sound of an aircooled ❤️

    Nice. I learned to drive in a '65 bug! My first vehicle was a bajan bug - no heat & living in Oregon by then. 😂

    Absolutely nothing sounds quite like a stock aircooled beetle! This really make me miss the '73 SuperBeetle I drove (more like limped and patched back together) through high school and college (when I "built" it with a new paint job and a hot 1776cc), and then enjoyed for a few years after moving to Atlanta. And believe me, you haven't known hot until you've sat in Atlanta stop and go traffic in the summer in a red beetle with black vinyl interior! haha Sadly though, I had to leave it behind at my dad's place when I moved to the other side of the continent. Maybe one day I'll be able to get it back on the road and hear the 40 IDFs bark again. :)

      Man that does sound hot! It’s not that “southern heat” here in Oregon but man sitting on traffic with no airflow is rough!
      Love that air cooled muffler sound!
      Thanks for watching!

    What a fun video. My son is a recent transplant to Portland, I've visited several times in the last two years. Now I've got another destination for us to check out. 😎

      That's a good year. We actually looked at '63-'65's first before finding this '67.
      thanks for watching!

    We too have a blue Beetle, but it's not a cool 67 it's the new Beetle 07. Our vanagon is named the Star Ship Galaxy, so the Beetle is our "Shuttle Craft". With a name like MARRS, pronounced Mars, you just go with it......

    Nancy sure gets some "attitude" driving the beetle. LOL. Old VWs are always an "adventure". So what else is in your car collection? Do I see a Jetta and a Golf? Take care and best wishes!!

      Somehow this comment went to my "Hold for review" folder, not sure why?
      She loves driving ole Bugster around and definitely has some well deserved attitude while doing so! :) We have a very clean 2002 Jetta and our oldest daughter has a 2003 TDI Beetle and we have another 2004 Jetta one of our twins drives.
