Jason

Wow, that thing's gonna fly round the bends! :laugh:

Rich

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

Wow...

Well done!!! I did not know that was being built here in NZ!!!

Will you be at the Nationals with it???

To quote Napoleon..."it's..., it's incredible"

Very impressed. Keep us posted, just can't wait to be at the 6 year mark of working on my car :laugh: . Maybe i'll have a gazillian horsepower by then and a 10 speed G50.

Since the rear right tire is a slick and the left is treaded, the car looks a little like a midget race car. All you need is a 5 foot long wing for a roof and wheelies at 70 mph in the dirt.

pictures
 

Thanks, yes i will attached some more pics for you, hope to get guards on v-soon.

Thanks very much.

handling
 

Thanks, well I hope it should handle well, dont intend to bend it but will have to give it a good blow out for sure.

tyres
 

Yea looks a little stupid with the two different tyres. When I was modifying the guards wanted to make sure that all tyre options wouldnt rub. Not sure about the wing thing? I have got a front spoiler which I will look at fitting another day. Was the one off a race car in Austrlia. There are a few options around but most are ugly. Thanks

More picutres and info as requested.
 

I have attached a few more pictures. As things progress I will take some more of the car. I was going to keep this car quiet and have managed to for few years now but I get much satisfaction from peoples responce and enquiries. Fire away?

Nationals
 

I went to the nationals many years ago and got very crook, had to turn around and come home [food poisoning]. Not sure to answer you question, It certainly wont see the rain but you never know may just turn up one day.Do you think it may drag a few people up here to Auck if was on display in Giltrap or something? When are the Nat anyway? Cheers Brent.
