"Now I don't know how many people like to drive a Beetle at that kind of speed (on purpose) but I know I'd rather go down Brickmaker's Kloof on a bicycle with no brakes! Driving any car at that speed in anything other than an expensive German luxury car on a long, straight autobahn is enough of a risk (let alone the risk of hitting anything) " but if you try that with a Beetle and add a light crosswind, factor in some rubber peeling off your tire, and you'll more than likely find yourself dancing alone in a dark corner without any music."
