Käfer Cup and Porsche Busses

Yes, you heard it right! The Porsche busses are really fast up to 230km/h and sometimes even more. Last year I had the opportunity to drive the silver one on the pictures attached on the autobahn (motorway?), you have to concentrate very much. You are from the UK right? Maybe you have seen us at the Volkworld Show 2002, where we were invited by Ian McCuttcheon. On the way back to Germany, my friend got a speeding ticket in Belgium, he drove 100km/h more than allowed
I could burn the video on CD and send it to you, but may be someone have got the time and know how to put this video on this web site, I also have a lot of pictures from some european VW shows...

On the attached pictures:
The silver bus (Carrera Bus) is equipped with a 993 300HP engine with 993RS gearbox, on the 2nd picture you see from l to r: Silver carrera bus as above, Bus from swiss with 993 carrera engine and a camper with complete 996 engine, gearbox and brakes.
I also scanned an old article from 1992 which was printed in a magazine called VW Scene...

The silver bus looks familiar, was it built by...Clare (sp) the specs on these busses are crazy.... but good


My 71 Baywindow will have a similar spec when finished.

I already have 2004 996 Turbo brakes (Big Reds front & rear, 340 x 34mm discs fr & r )

I plan on fitting a 3.6 993 engine & tiptronic g/box (I need the tiptronic because I'm a cripple )

I just have to wait for the ££££££££

There is a connection to Claer: The silver one was build by Heinz Heymann, he is owner of a body shop and does the paintwork on the Claer busses. They know each other well. The white bus from Switzerland, I`ve forgotten the name of the owner, is completely build without the help of Claer, but it was a former Oettinger WBX6 3,6 I think the owner runs a VW dealership. The red camper was build by the owner himself, a pilot at Lufthansa, but at the Claer's workshop.
I think, but I don't really know, the camper has got the 996 Tiptronic, maybe the swiss one too, but I never drove with them. In summer I might see them again, then I will ask and if you want, I do some detail pictures.
CD is no problem, inside Europe I can afford the price for postage, just send me your address.

If you like I can send you a CD, better DVD, with the Mpeg Movie and lots of pictures from European and German car shows, you can use it for the gallery. I think I've got some more very short movies which I've taken with my photocamera. Maybe you can shorten the movies to make them downloadable. Just write me a mail with your address.

The easiest way, I think, would be to put the little movie on a web page. If zen likes my idea of sending him a CD/DVD he might put it on the germanlook.com page. ´
