The Kalhatti Ghat was easily conquered by the Beetle. The 1300 CC Beetle is really sporty and I understand was really excellent up the 35 hairpin bends

BHPian KPS recently shared this with other enthusiasts.

Madras Heritage Motoring Club (MHMC) in association with GEDEE Car Museum, Karnataka Vintage and Classic Car Club (KVCCC) and Nilgiris Vintage and Classic Car Club (NiViCCA) had lovely drive to Ooty, after a stopover at Coimbatore.

Since I could not make it due to my work commitments, my good friend Srinand decided to take my Beetle!. He ditched his unfaithful British cars to understand the hype about this German car

The family and especially the kids were very happy to go in the Beetle.

After Breakfast at Murugan Idli at Krishnagiri, they set off towards Salem, where the Madras Group would arrive

Speeds up to 50-55 miles can be easily maintained by this car

At Salem, the regrouping with the MHMC cars
