"In the name of sanity, why do you need six Beetles?"

 

[Trisha]

"Just five so far..."

 

[Trisha]

A journey that didn't end well.

 

[Grumpy Gaz]

Six Beatles?

Humph, indeed! 🤪

 

[Trisha]

"There are swarms of them and the vicar must be informed."

 

[Trisha]

Whodathought? A nice surprise through the post 10 minutes ago.

"Come away, Wilson. It's well known that he's a crackpot."

They don't like it upem,sir!!

5 dozen, more like.
Well.....maybe not quite. But a dozen black in evidence, plus we know the other colors.
Your bravery in taking that photo impresses me. Hopefully she doesn't check your photo history? Or have you already erased the evidence?

I can't hide mine....my wife sees all my 3DP projects.

 

[Grumpy Gaz]

Bloody hell , Trisha's Beetles! ... Thousands of them!

 

[Trisha]

They're all coming out of Timothy White's, Grumpy.

 

[Trisha]

But, Cynthia, it's only an Airfix kit...

 

[Trisha]

Some prefer spending money on Hairfix kits. Some need to.

The days are drawing in most appreciably now, chaps.

"Just a minute. You're doing it with both hands now, Wilson!"

 

[Trisha]

'You simply force his head in at one end, and keep prodding him with this sharp instrument until he stops. It worked with mine. He doesn't even mention Beetles these days."

A streamlined DKW prototype with influence clearly from Hans Ledwinka of Tatra and Erwin Komenda of Porsche.

 

[Trisha]

DKW's 'Beetle.'

 

[Trisha]

Another beetle-like streamliner prototype from DKW. Exactly my kind of car.

As Henry VIII allegedly informed a Newspaper reporter when asked why he had more than one,

"Well dear boy, I decided one was never going to be enough!!"

If you can't beat 'em, join 'em ( I mean Beetles, as they are currently far less expensive!)

Below, the Anne Boleyn and Catherine Howard of Beetles. 'Twas a risky old business being married to Henry V111. History would have been recorded very differently if the old twerp had married Mrs Grumpy.

A new meaning to the term "Chop Top".

Although some may sympathise with Henry VIII'ths predicament, I think he could have chosen a different path to righteousness.

He should have built a camouflaged garden shed and taken up the slotting hobby like the rest of us!
Much more bearable.
