Parker Successfully Completes Rehab

It's official. I'm happy to announce that Parker has been sold. He joined us in a quite a state and gained notoriety status for his entrance to our rehabilitation unit. It's been an interesting journey as Parker has been through our programme with a new heart transplant, skin grafting and a new stomach lining in the form of a brand new interior, with charcoal grey seat covers.

We didn't fully heal Parker. This doesn't mean we failed our objectives as we had a few issues with his new heart. Firstly, the blood wasn't getting to his heart with full flow and thus struggled to turn over when we fired the ignition up. After a while, Parker's blood transfusion did prove to be successful, but troubles with his camshaft means that he's going to be sold as seen, with a pacemaker attached. We could only do so much with the time frame allotted.




Fear not, Parker has been admitted with his new owners into a health clinic to monitor his progress and thus remove his pacemaker to allow him to become a fully restored Bug.

He's about 90% there, his rust has been repaired and a new paint job, interior, and engine. Parker was only ever going to be a project and I'm pleased we're at a stage, albeit not as far as we'd hoped, where we can send him on his way.

The decision to sell our Bugs sold as seen isn't one of poor finish quality, or reliability, but rather there are more, older, and far better Bugs on the way. I can't report on these yet. However, I'm really excited for their arrivals. I will be in a new Bug soon, we're unsure what that may be, but it's still very exciting to reveal. My dad, the mad scientist and handy man, will also be in a new Bug, adding to the roster a '65 Swedish LHD car in the process.

As a result, over the space of 14 months, 8 Beetles would have touched our illustrious driveway.

EIGHT.

YES, EIGHT.

This is an addiction in action.

In the coming days, I will be announcing their arrivals as and when (if I'm not busy down the pub or indulging in less than savory activities) they set their four tyres on the ground. In the meantime, unite in supporting your country for the World Cup.

See you then.
