The Volkswagen Bug 1970's version, what a car! My sister, myself and a couple of friends rented one to go home for Christmas way back when. Now winters in Canada are cold and this one was no exception. We had barely started out on our journey when we discouvered to our great dismay the heater didn't work; the longest three hour drive ever!! We shivered and shook the whole way. Coming back was a bit better as my Mum gave us blankets to wrap up in! But believe me it was COLD, especially for my sister who did the driving and couldn't completely bundle up. The rest of us just had our noses sticking out:O)!
