here's mine...

67 beetle I used to own. mild 1640 and a cut and weld lowered beam. went through bump stops like you wouldn't believe! 8) lots of fun though and the kiddies love the colour.

My current ride [read obsession]. 68 J&S lwb buggy with 60 pan. KL and IRS. 2.5L subaru and kombi box. Love the torque and the acceleration, hate my crappy home made gear linkage. I really got to get onto that...

BTW, just in case you can see a theme here, my passion is rallying. :wink:

yep, I lurrrrve getting sideways. 8)

actually my quarter time was with full traction the whole way. I fluffed the gearchange...no surprise with a dodgy linkage, and I was driving like a nana on account of not wanting to brake anything. I reckon the car has a 14 in it if I drove it right, but I don't have time to go drag racing much.
