Snow bug in Leadville Colorado today
@atomicbird I had to explain this to our Dutch web developer. The Dutch nickname for the VW in the Netherlands is "Ugly Duckling".

@mvilain @atomicbird No, it's not, it's 'VW Kever' (pronounced Vay Way Kay-ver') which translates to VW Bug in English and VW Käfer (pronounced 'Vow Way Kay-fur') in German.

The 'Ugly Duck' or 'Lelijke Eend' ('Lay-like-ah Aynd') is the nickname for the Citroën 2CV. Both the Bug and the 2CV were very popular cars in the Netherlands. There are quite a few roadworthy examples of both still driving around in the classic car scene.

Just as the vw kever translates to VW beetle ... 😉
