I said that. Your apology is accepted.

That's nice. The rest of what you said talks of track time, not of daily driving. I'm guessing there have been improvements in 25 years. If not, it is a wonder this set-up is so scarce.

Personally, I don't like the bend the belt has to make -- especially when the first words out of anybody's mouth of what people should take along on a trip with an air-cooled is a spare belt. That bend looks like an accident waiting to happen.

If you want to get all bent out of shape, go right ahead. Too bad. I have enjoyed your posts (this one aside) over the years and I admire your cars. I would rather you disagree by just disagreeing but I am just one person, and a fairly insignificant one at that.

Hopefully, you can dig up a picture of a Type I with a horizontal fan. Surely with 25 years of 100% success, one must exist.

In the meantime, I still like you.
