Mate thats insane...

I bet there are a lot of VW Kiwis that would love to see that.

Hows about a quick post at www.nzveedubnuts.com

I wonder how many people down here knew you were building such an awesome car.

Hopefully it makes it to a nationals... it would give me a good reason to show up!

Cheers
Jeremy

Yes very small, Demon Tweeks i think are the suppliers. It certainly looks the part and is areodynamic butprobably not so good on a road car. serves the purpose on the track. Thanks.

Yes, it certainly has the go fast gear. Only been on the track once really, havent even looked at type presures so a long way to go yet. I do plan to get this road legal too, needs engineering cert 500 odd dollars and hopefully he likes wha he sees too then that sunday drive [screem] can happen. Brent.
