First off I just wanna say Hi, I'm new here although have browsed for some time.
Secondly, Sorry if there is a 'What do you drive' Thread, I did do a search and could only find a 'What was your first car' Thread ![]() So here we go, I'm a fan of Classic VW's and have been since I was a little nipper and my old man had a VW Beetle and Bay Window Camper. So soon as I was 17 I went out and got myself a 1967 VW Beetle which I slowly worked on for years untill I decided to sell it when I came across my Dream Car a couple of years ago. So now I drive a 1959 VW 'Lowlight' Karmann Ghia nicknamed 'The Zombie' ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() |

Only thing I don't like is rust - it also makes car unsafe to drive. That's what I don't like about it. Other than that it has very cool interior etc.

I don't drive anything exciting (£500 worth of Honda HR-V) but I do have this in the garage, although it's not been very far in the last seven years. I think it's done 3 miles which now makes it 8,883 in 15 years. About due for it's first dealer service, or it would be if Rover hadn't gone bust
![]() Stock apart from a stainless RC40 cat-back exhaust, a de-cat pipe and Minilites with Yoko A539's. Really did ought to dig it out and get it back on the road, maybe next year... |

Car looks awesome...
How'd you get that even rust patina? Did you just bring it down to bare metal and wait? I'd have thought that if it was covered in blackberry bushes, the rust would be much patchier (and that there'd be paint underneath it all here and there) Are you concerned that it might degenerate over time, or do you keep it well out of the weather's way? Nevertheless, looks pretty cool. |

It has been Ankor Waxed which stops the rust where it is and completely protects it from the elements so no more can occure. I do keep it in the Garage although before that it used to be kept out on the drive in all Weathers without a problem. |

that ratted karmann looks the dogs! I missed an opportunity to purchase a variant a few years back. it was lovely but I needed a working vehicle at the time, not a project.
this is the only 4 wheeled vehicle I run on the road (the kart isn't road legal): ![]() I love it dearly, but recently I've been tempted to sell for an even bigger van with a part camper conversion, something like a LWB sprinter capable of carrying 2 karts + spares etc and still giving some living space. who knows. I might even need to sell it for a house deposit ![]() |

Last motor was a Lexus V8 Soarer unlimited 300 and something bhp 176mph beast (which was achieved), but scared the hell out of me when it rained as it had zero traction control and it loved the back coming out in any gear so it had to go. Got an Audi TT now with only 250bhp but thats enough.

do the indicators work on that one mate? I've heard that a lot of beemers have problems with the indicators - either the stalk doesn't work or the lights themselves are difficult to illuminate.
it seems to affect a lot of models across the entire BMW range. there's also a weird aerodynamic thing going on where they tend to be 'sucked' towards the car in front, often travelling just a few inches from their bumper. the X5 is particularly badly affected by this. |

Ah, you see its a well known fact that you legally don't have to indicate with a BMW! Not well known but true lol BTW i've got a 330ci and i don't think i'll ever wear my indicators out.
Stranger than that, it says the same thing in the manual for the works Transit! |

LOL, So true...
Seriously the BMW is a piece of crap IMHO, it has been in service a number of times from new for as BMW term "Quality Enhancements" also the ignition coils have gone 3 times in the last year... Quote:
