Someone Else's Problem: My Hot Latino - '16 Beetle Cabrio

[narf]

Clearly faked. The 991 model GT3 hasn't been available up until 2013.

My capacitor-backed G1W seems to lose its time after a while of not driving two weeks before that matches a return from a week in London.

So.... the video, please?

Yeahyeah... the only thing slower than the laps themselves is my ADSL's upload

 

[narf]

 

[Beni]

It's not quite Zastava slow!

...and epic training at ADAC including a few dozen laps of their track...

Which training did you choose? 'PKW-Intensiv-Training'?

After seeing the lap, I think it's the other way around....

No, did that last year with the Eos... this was the next step up + laps of their track on top because we had the place to ourselves after ~3pm: https://fsz-hansa.de/adac/pkw-sport-adac-pkw-perfektions-training.htm

You haven't experienced my ADSL

All is well

Is there that much metallic in the paint? Seems very sparkly.

Yeah, there is a lot of metallic in there - depending on viewing angle and lighting it changes quite a lot. That ferry picture is the extreme end, with the sun reflected in only a small part that may be exaggerated by the potato... this is more realistic:

You can check it with your own eyes at Ringmeet


Meanwhile, I've been spotting two other Habanero Orange Beetle around here for a while both a coup? and convertible... based on the HU sticker this coup? has been registered just after I ordered mine.

Perhaps in 2018, unfortunately not this year.

 

[Dr_Grip]

;( SAD.

 

[narf]

BOOOO!



Apparently today is spot-the-local-orange-Beetle day



...though I was a second too late

 

[narf]

This happened last weekend



...yes, I did treat it to a spot of interior cleaning by now. Outside as well, it's an insect death trap:

This is now the orange Beetle spotting thread.

 

[93Flareside]

Habanero

Do Germans even know what that is?

 

[narf]

 

[93Flareside]

But cooking with it is unheard of.

 

[narf]

I just like how this particular specimen shows the same colour variations as my car

 

[narf]

That's near the Elbe, isn't it? I saw a beetle in your colour, might've been you and we might've crossed ways.

People keep placing shots near the Elbe that aren't, so exactly two months and one day later I made one just for you
