The VW Beetle and the Irish.
A Love story.

I am currently researching for a book on Volkswagen in Ireland which will cover the factory in Dublin, the staff, the dealer network and also the many owners around the country. I also want to show how the humble Beetle and its many siblings became part of Irish life, be that happy or sad.
If you have a beetle story to share, why not pop on to Beetle.ie and see some of the 400+ VWs uploaded to our census and also a selection of stories submitted by people….
Name those years from top above, anyone?
A modest Mk1 VW Golf converted by German tuners Boba Motoring from an old vintage guffer into an insane, tarmac-chewing, 1.8L, 16V KR GTX4202R turbo-powered one thousand and thirteen horsepower death-pellet.
It does 1-60mph in 2.3 seconds and tops out at 200mph.
They call it the ’16Vampir’.

A hilarious viral video made as part of Volkswagen’s sponsorship of independent cinema.
Assailed by nerds and cosplayers, firefighters from New York’s Hook & Ladder #8 – the actual location used in both Ghostbusters movies – talk about daily life at the world’s most famous firehouse.
Sadly, it’s not real. It just should be.
