Hola lectores y amantes de los clásicos, que tal les va?.

Hello readers and lovers of the classics, how are you doing?

Marley Marley Marley… como queremos a Marley, aunque ya no está con nosotros. La historia de Marley es algo compleja, con altos y bajos, nos pasaron tantas cosas con Marley que fue imposible no quererlo.

Marley Marley Marley Marley... how we love Marley, even though he is no longer with us. Marley's story is a complex one, with highs and lows, so many things happened to us with Marley that it was impossible not to love him.

Hace aproximadamente 12 años mi pareja y yo queríamos comprar nuestro primer auto, no nos alcanzaba el dinero para mucho, ya que éramos estudiantes que trabajábamos solo medio tiempo, queríamos un carro lo mas moderno posible, no importaba que fuese pequeño, pero era imposible, el presupuesto nos daba para un carro "viejo" así que debimos resignarnos.

About 12 years ago my partner and I wanted to buy our first car, we did not have enough money for much, since we were students who worked only part time, we wanted a car as modern as possible, no matter if it was small, but it was impossible, the budget gave us for an "old" car so we had to resign ourselves.

Los únicos carros "viejos" que deseábamos tener era un Escarabajo o un Mini Cooper, aunque no eran modernos se cotizan bastante altos e igualmente no llegábamos a ese monto para comprarlo.

The only "old" cars we wanted to have were a Beetle or a Mini Cooper, although they were not modern, they were priced quite high and we could not afford to buy them.

Después de buscar y buscar, decidimos comprar uno que se ajustaba a nuestro presupuesto pero este no tenia una de las cosas mas importantes, el motor, casi nada.

After searching and searching, we decided to buy one that fit our budget but it didn't have one of the most important things, the engine, almost nothing.

Decidimos aventurarnos a comprarlo para poco a poco arreglarlo a nuestro gusto, veíamos lejos la posibilidad de verlo rodar, pero fuimos comprando tornillo a tornillo y las demás cosas que hacían falta.

We decided to venture to buy it to gradually fix it to our liking, we saw far the possibility of seeing it rolling, but we were buying screw by screw and other things that were needed.

Pasaron 2 largos años para poder sacarlo al ruedo, la felicidad nos superaba, no podíamos creer que lo habíamos logrado, pero si, habíamos cumplido nuestra meta.

It took 2 long years to be able to bring it to the arena, happiness overcame us, we could not believe that we had achieved it, but yes, we had accomplished our goal.

Al saber de mi embarazo por supuesto quise hacerme una sesión con Marley, mi esposo tenia una cámara, no muy sofisticada pero hizo su trabajo.

When I found out I was pregnant of course I wanted to have a session with Marley, my husband had a camera, not very sophisticated but it did the job.

Disfrutamos mucho a Marley, fueron años muy lindos, pero la situación nos llevo a venderlo, fue duro, pero después de tener un bebé las prioridades cambian y debíamos hacerlo. Vendimos a Marley pero se quedaron con nosotros muchos momentos inolvidables, igualmente no debemos aferrarnos tanto a las cosas materiales, todo se puede recuperar mientras haya salud y tengamos la convicción de lograrlo.

We enjoyed Marley very much, they were very nice years, but the situation led us to sell him, it was hard, but after having a baby, priorities change and we had to do it. We sold Marley but many unforgettable moments stayed with us, but we should not cling so much to material things, everything can be recovered as long as there is health and we have the conviction to achieve it.

Así estaba Marley el día antes de ser vendido...

This is how Marley looked the day before he was sold...

What a journey, thank you for sharing - we love our air cooled vehicles, and the Beetle is such a characterful car, did Marley find a loving owner?

The truth is yes, among those who wanted to buy it we found a girl who is a lover of this car, she was in the Volkswagen Club but was without a car because she was planning to buy a Beetle, so the universe conspired to make it so, she bought it, no doubt it is in good hands. I'm glad you liked Marley's story, I'm a classic car lover. ❤️

Aww, I could feel the love for this car in this story. The way you both worked hard to get what you wanted means so much. It also gives the car a bit of extra soul in my opinion. Do you still see him driving about. I pray you can get him back one day :) Lovely post. Please keep sharing them with us.

Hi Matt thank you very much for reading, well, yes, the effort over time makes us appreciate it much more, we saw it for a while and then we lost track of it, we never saw it again but we have been told that if it is still in our city, well yes, I also hope to have it back someday. ❤️
