"Is there another one than this?"
In 1951, Leijntje R.
(Photo)
, who lives in a town called ' Zaamslag ' in Holland (The Netherlands),
bought her first Volkswagen, type "split window".
It was necessary to use "mid-acceleration" (tip the accelerator between the coupling procedure),
and to get accustomed also with "double clutch". She is not able to use her feet very
well because she has an inborn deficiency, so this car wasn't easy for her to drive.
For this reason she ordered in 1966 this new 'Beetle'.
In 2001 - then she will be 84 years old - she will stop with car driving and will say farewell
to her "Beetle" that will be 33 years old at that time.
She never did ride another automobile type.
