    Love the 1300 badge of the back of the bug (yeah sure !)...I guess the big ugly scoop on the Cosworth (looks like that's what is) didn't help him much - that little bug chewed him up and spat him out - way to go! Man that's fast BTW...

    Cheers,

    I'm impressed! Lisa, down there they may be called Cosworth...here, just another 'Stang (Mustang)....I'd have loved to have been inside the 'Stang driver's head as he was looking at the VW rear lid. "Buddy gonna shut you down" -Beach Boys.

    Paul,

    Wishful thinking and error on my part...definitely a "pony"! Somehow I got really excited about the prospect of Dave beating a Cosworth in the little bug (I reckon on sub 11s he'd be doing that anyway ) One of the Touring Car Champs (now V8 Supercar) down here Dick Johnson did a bit with these Mustangs...didn't last long!

    Anyway you cut it, the Bug is more than impressive - congrats again Dave

    Cheers,

    The problem with running 10's is you're now close to running single digits. What's the winter plans to get this thing in the 9's Dave? Oh. And you really need to think about wheelie bars.
