Well, it's all gone through, with only one change.
I'm getting a New Beetle convertible 1.6 at the beginning of March. It's not yellow, though, since they had no yellow ones with the winter pack. It's black, with black hood and interior.

S> Isn't the 1.6 a little, well, slow?
And it being a Beetle, a little too gay?

They're all slow :) The important thing is that the 1.6 - on paper at least - is not that much slower than the 2.0. 4bhp down, 4mph down, .6 seconds more to 60. And that 4bhp can probably be taken from the 2.0 by switching on the standard A/C. Having driven a Beetle, I reckon that going fast in one probably isn't as amusing to the driver as it is to anyone watching - they're comfortable and safe, and certainly not unpleasant to drive at a brisk pace (60mph around 45mph bends wasn't scary, just 'oh, that was a bit quick'), but the idea that the TT shares the same chassis is almost incomprehensible.
At least it's not a 1.4 - no power hood and 75bhp in a car that weight...

hmmm.... new beetle convertible.... click below...
*grins*
Hey, it's a black one too :D
I've had people yell 'Wanker' at the 306 when driving through Hexham. Now, I'm assuming they don't know me personally, but how the hell anyone noticed the 306 long enough to form an opinion is beying me...

Is it a rear engined one? ;)
I dunno. What's an engine?
