Description So as stated in a recent journal [link] I got another '68 Beetle. He was restored a couple years ago, new paint, interior, electrical, and even chassis work was done to make him a real solid car. Even though the previous owner wasn't an engine person, he runs real smooth and handles freeway speeds just fine. Oh, and did I mention that the sheet metal panels were rust proofed and then sound insulation was put on 'em to make him a real quiet ride (which my previous one was absolutely not). So sometime I'll get a real good stereo and a speaker or two so I can finally enjoy music while driving (the dash pad hasn't been cut for a radio yet)

So I'm calling this car Digory, and the other one Felton from now on. It used to be the other way around, but I like the name Digory so much that I decided to switch his name when I switched the ignition lock from one to the other (because of key issuses) So it's pretty much Digory's heart into a new body

That is one beautiful car!
I don't have a drivers license and I don't really want one either but the only car I can imagine myself drive is an old beetle, probably not as shiny as your Digory though.

Oh yeah, when I was looking to get a car I didn't really want anything newer then this... however, if I were to come into some money, I would get a Morgan from GB

Aye, after driving my first one, I've realized the limitations these cars have. I used to drive a '97 Subaru outback when I still lived with my Mum. Very different ride

Yeah! I've been wanting eyebrows like that... and you can rotate them in that round bit to make him look angry or what have you.
