It may be too late for Father’s Day, but there’s nothing stopping you from picking up The Beetles: Greatest Sounds of the ‘60s and ‘70s for dad as a very early Christmas present.
Not to be confused with The Beatles, a little known British band that has all but faded into obscurity, The Beetles is a CD of car sounds dating from 1960 to 1978. And not just any car sounds: Volkswagen Beetle car sounds…
Yes, you can now rock out to such timeless classics as “Gears 1 – 2”, “Long Idle” and “Turn-Off, Handbrake”. With 30 tracks (well, 10 tracks spread across 3 different engines), your dad will be over the moon will this mass produced one-of-a-kind CD.
Here’s how the company – BeetleSounds.com – describes its product:
“For new Beetle owners and for those who used to have a classic Beetle (or wish they had), you can now cruise anytime, anywhere with that vintage Beetle sound.”
To make the CD, BeetleSounds.com took a 1200cc / 36 hp 1960 Beetle, a 1600cc ’73 Beetle in power blue and a fuel injected 1978 convertible. It costs US$12.99 pre-shipping or US$9.99 if you want to download it. Any takers?
