So it's a completely standard 1950 (with a prototype oval dash?) that does over 80mph and averages 46mpg? And he never as much as changed the oil...
I'm starting to think maybe the Herbie movies were actually documentries...

Nah, Herbie is a fictional nonsense, whereas
Rattletrap is a reality 😎
I think that Tony was reading
Rattletrap's speedo which is kilometers, so I guess 80kms per hour would be about right.
The oil was probably changed when each knackered engine was swapped. As for the 46mpg, he did seem to spend a lot of his journeys pushing
Rattletrap judging by his writings:lol:
I don't think numbers were Tony's strongest point.:?

Rattletrap – the Volkswagen Beetle that has covered an incredible mileage equivalent to over 35 times around the planet :omg:
Running nifty since 1950… the King of Volkswagens:beer: Why not make friends with this famous little VW – he's on facebook! :d
