The oldest Beetle I've driven is a '64 so I haven't had any experience of driving a car with that type of gearbox set up. But I guess it's like everything, you just learn - practice makes perfect as...

When I was a kid, I first saw the back of a split window Volkswagen in this VW ad.So I decided to have a little fun and do some re-enacting. Yes, I realize the age and dates don't quite match up.
