aircooled VW Gumball race 2006
Was held at 1st of April (last weekend).
It was a time contest on public roads, starting in the Netherlands at the last petrol station, just 100 yards from the german Autobahn border :D The goal was to arrive as quickly as possible at the bug-shop www.beetlefactory.com which is about 135 km into germany. As none of us were ever been there, it was alsio a sort of contest who was best in navigating/ reeding the roadmap best. Starting time was the time slip from the store at the petrol station subtracted by the time from the receipt at the beetlefactory shop. Winner was a 1303 with 2 liter type 4 with K-jetronic in just over 1 hour :eek: Congrats Nigel! Considering the road works and subsequent speed restrictions underway (and some general 120km/h limits) and the time spend in finding the shop in city of Wuppertal, that is very fast!
