The old battered up bug SP,geez weren't they everywhere when we where young blokes.I never owned one myself I was more into the old Holdens and Fords but mates had them and Kombi's
They were well before my time Al. 
I was more Commodore and Falcon generation. Dad even bought a Camira at some point. The 80s was really when cars lost soul and style.
But it's a great shot. The quintessential Surfing shot. Car, Single fin and wettie. A few bucks of petrol and you are living the dream.
Ha,yeah I've had my share of Commodores to mate
,all been pretty good.The old Camira's hey haha,my mate had a Camira wagon and for a car that's probably most hated it went pretty good really and he didn't have much trouble with it,lucky one I guess.Yep you're right that is the quintessential pic,it's all there
Is it a Mainline or a Customline though 
these beasts had panels near half inch thick metal - incredibly strong

Yeah they are great to cruise around in mate,although when you're driving them you can tell it feels like a 50 year old car,haha,as soon as you get back in a modern car you can really tell the difference.I suppose that's why we buy them though,it gives ya the old way of doing things.I love driving the old Holden around!..
This is wrong on sooo many levels! I love the old real Rolls woody but this??? WHY??
Geez yeah MR,isn't there some shockers in that clip.If I had to pick one it would probably be the Caddy Cyclone
