The Bugs Are Back

What a way to start the new year. :)
Sneezing, coughing and fever. Yet, a promise is a promise. The handphone was full with missed calls and messages from Jaja reminding Cat to meet her at 8am for breakfast and then on to the Bug Fest. Come on, Cat. 2 of those Hurix's pills and a big spoonful of the yucky and sticky cough syrup and you'll be ok.



We were at the Bug Fest in Dataran Ayer Keroh at 9.30am. The hot sun might have been one of the factor that there were only few vw beetles at that time. Around 20 vw vehicles only, a small number compare to the number of policemen on standby. (Might be because of the New Year's countdown the night before, people are not awake yet).



The hot sun did nothing to relieve Cat's burning head, but it was certainly worth it. The VW on exhibition were impeccably polished and a delight to look at.



The beetle is actually holding the record for the longest single car production run with more than 21 million units being fabricated since it's creation in 1938. The red car on top is a 1963 VW Beetle Ragtop. The rooftop is made of leather than can last for years. However, the sport rims on the wheels are from a different year as those from 1963 has rounded hubcaps. Still, it's a beauty.
