after 10 years without a vw beetle...riding mitsubishi versa van and adventure most of the time...i decided to get one this year. I was scouting for a vw since last year. unfortunately kailangan pala may 100k ka lagi sa bulsa...kasi habang isip isip pa ako...mas mabilis mag labas ng downpayment ang iba natin kaibigan..so after the nice vw appears in the vwcp.org forums..within 12 hours of posting...di pa ako nakakapunta ..SOLD NA sagot ng seller sa celfone!
anyway i was telling ka rene the previous owner over lunch today ..."ka rene...its like owning a dog this vw love affair thing ....when you sell your volks am sure you will look for another one a better looking one as a new pet." sir rene laughs....
This just goes to show that marami pa naghahanap ng magandang vw.
anyway im attaching several fotos here..for those who was patient with me and my queries...thox, manoy delacruz, jake donpedro, paktoy, so many others i texted i forgot your name already salamat po for your kindness.
i have to thank hotvolks sherwin as he was as nice as his papa eran of proj 6...because even though i didnt buy his 69 yellow volks...and it was raining so hard along mindanao avenue...last monday ...sinamahan niya ako...he was kind enough bring me to see check out the vw for sale (it was not shown at oto resiklo.am sure if sherwin posted this orange bug for mr rene orocio ..martes pa lang nabenta na eto) ..
mang rene (who owns a nissan cefiro as well) is the kind owner of orange bug. after ocular inspection...well it wasnt show quality but it was better than many vw bugs ive seen the past few weeks...and so after a few days...i decided that for his price ..the orange bug was ok....
so today a thursday...sherwin hotvolks and mr rene delivered the orange bug to me here in plaridel town.
i drove the bug around after the sale was concluded and after checking some more details...door panel bottom portion rusted...the brake line has to be replaced. the bug missing a radio. the clutch pedal a bit hard to engage and brake needs to be checked..but other than that...this bug is much better in person than the fotos shown here.
anyway im really happy get back to owning a vw. it wasnt much fun to be a lurker driving a Mitsubishi adventure. I look forward to participate in the bug runs ngayon na may vwbeetle na ako...and pwede na din ako galugod ng parts para sa vw bug ko!
AND so to sherwin and mr rene orocio ..thanks so much for letting me have this orange bug...i look forward to see you driving your vws soon.
raymond see
