Title: New to Autostick- I'm a convert!!
Post by: dataworf on 28 July 2008, 15:51
I've had a couple of Bugs before, and loved them, but yesterday I test drove a beautiful 1971 autostick, bright yellow convertible.

I'm in love. I had my doubts about this whole "shift gears without a clutch pedal", but it was such a smooth ride, I'm hooked.

The current owner is still trying to decide if she wants to sell her baby, but it's looking pretty good for me to join the ranks here!!

Hiya data,

Sounds good.

Be sure to post up pictures if the sale goes through!

Woo-Hoo!  The owner is willing to part with her baby, and come the weekend, I will be the proud owner of a 1971 autostick!!

Hiya Data,

Outstanding!

While we deal with AutoStick related conditions and problems most of the time, don't forget that we are all Bug (or KG) owners also.  We can help you with most any VW repair or redo kinda problem.  Hope to see more of you here on the board.  And don't forget the pictures - we'd like to see the car too!

Dataworf,

I also own a '71 Super Vert, guess yellow was a popular color for them, because mine is yellow too, with a black interior and a white top. If you go to the postings about "Buggerfly" you will see a picture of her.
Please post pics of yours, would love to see another one. There are 3 yellow bugs in my VW club, all 4 speeds but yellow with black tops.
Welcome to the forum and good luck, you've come to the right place for ANY auto stick issues you may have.
