The 5 at 5 We love a good Bug.

THE VOLKSWAGEN BEETLE is one of the most popular cars of all time. It is almost 80 years old and more than 21.5 million of them have been made.

The VW Bug started Beetle Mania before any of the Beatles were born and even after all these decades on our roads it has never gone out of style. Not only does it have classic looks and an immediately identifiable shape – it has iconic status, too.

If you want to own a piece of automotive history we’ve rounded up five Volkswagen Beetles for sale on a variety of budgets.

    His biggest problem in regard to being chosen as the Democratic candidate is that he’s an experienced politician and not a TV celebrity or movie star…

    @William Tallon: Yes because experienced politicians have a flawless record don’t they? Enda Kenny, Brian Cowen, Bertie Ahern, Angela Merkel, Vlad Putin, Hilary Clinton…

    @William Tallon: Have you been living under a rock lad? What good has ever come from a politician being experienced other than being experienced in spewing bull. I would say his biggest problem is the tag “Creepy Joe”

    @Ryan: Errrrrr…. Not quite the point I was making really! My point was more about celebrity culture and new politics these days and not the machinations of established politicians from either side of the divide…

    @Windom Earle: Think you’ve missed the point I was making which was about celebrity culture in politics as in Trump and not the virtues of politicians. Sorry for inadvertently triggering you…

    All they did was pander and slander.
    Bashing law enforcement won’t go down well.
    Illegals to get free healthcare, ridiculous.
    Open borders and raising taxes, it won’t happen.
    Speaking Spanish, well trying to.
    All that was short was AOC to parachute into the studio spouting her usual nonsense.

    Kamala Harris and Democracy Now proves that Biden is a liar in the recent Democratic debate ; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0qMwOmngauQ
    A perfect politician? (Tulsi Gabbard didnt get much of a look in but what she said was accurate and truthful)

    Biden and Saunders are far too old, this is a young mans game. No, people should look beyond both of them.
