A Life Well Lived
Remember your first car?
Me and the Beetle
My first car was Volkswagen Beetle, sludge green with semaphore indicators and I loved it! Nellie cost £350. This was the sumI managed to squeeze out of the Taxman after a very protracted “ discussion” about my right to claim John Boys as my dependant. He was and I got a rebate in 1963/4 which facilitated the purchase of my pride and joy!
