Re: what all did your roc get for xmas?
My beetle is like that too. All wrist no arm. In fact the clutch is so
forgiving that you can get going on a flat surface with your right foot
nowhere near the gas pedal. I prefer the roc any day of the week, long
through and all. I don't mind working for it.
For xmas I got the roc a battery charger. We just got buried under some
snow, so it doesn't look like I'll be driving him much for the next few
weeks. Also a NYS inspection, I changed the gear oil and ordered a window
motor/regulator. My window is making a bad clunking sound going up and
down. Oh yeah and a fresh coat of wax, but it doesn't need to be a holiday
for that <g>
Have a healthy and safe new year.
