On May 19, 1896, the fiirst automobile (Benz) arrived in Netherlands. Describe the first automobile you ever owned. This is easy - what sort of a vehicle would any self respecting girl have back in the 60's? A VW Beetle!!!!!. Of course I am telling my age.
I turned 60 on the 18 May and enjoyed my first ever birthday party since I was a child. My husband surprised me with a party of family and friends. But of course back to the car.
It was a second hand white Beetle with that was 5 years old and cost $500. I drove home to the country town where my parent lived to show off my new car.
Later in the evening I parked it in the machinery shed and went to bed. The next morning to my horror I discovered that the donkey we owned, had tried to eat the car by chewing on the door handles. I had parked the car where the donkey slept at night.!!
