'62 bug and a '66 Westy and just barely have room for those. I don't see where folks make the space for the multiples. |

ME
I have a 60 and a 70. next week the 60 is getting driven down to Denver and the 70 makes 2-3 trips to Bonneville depending on the rain, each year. No, not that I don't drive it in the rain only when the rain closes down the racing.
+ my wife and I take a 10-14 day camping trip in either one each year. once 4K in 2 weeks with the 60 thru 11 states and 2 years ago the 70 went to Saskatoon to see Brad and the boys. _________________ Rick

Two air cooled, one water cooled. Not currently insured for all of them, but winter has a tendency to cause that issue around here. All will be on the road legally soon enough. maybe one more air cooler, too. _________________ nothing |

Hello Grandpa Pete. My list has 4 registered and insured drivers: the '62, 63 and '71 beetles and the '74 Thing. The '65 Westy will be 5th on that list in about 2 weeks! The '65 DC will be sprayed in primer this week! The '66 deluxe is in "I have no excuses why it's not running yet" mode in my garage. The '62 vert is the long term, ran when I bought it project (I put it on the back burner when the deluxe arrived!). Here's a pic of the running beetle lineup:

I only have one VW currently but it gets at least 50 miles a weekday on it. That should count for at least 10....LOL
But seriously, the most running VW's I have ever had at one point in time was only three. All were daily drivers. _________________ 1966 Euro
