    thats pretty damn quick, but one was a full on drag beetle versus a mildly done up 'stang...

    has anyone seen the old beetles done up with porsche parts? aparently porsche and volkswagon are interchangeable and meant pretty fast, pretty stock beetles getting around...
    Need some parts for my VH 253:
    Green standard steering wheel...Green lower B-pillar covers.
    Green sunglasses holder/lower dash bits...Air-con and assorted engine bay parts.
    PM with any info.

    yeah my best mate's dad had one when he was a lad. well... it was a dune buggy but they share the vw chassis.
    call me crazy, but that beetle didn't look all that fast

    check the counter... 12 second beetle... I loved that launch.

    Even thorpey would say that launch was Fully Sick.
    I don't use windscreen wipers, i just use the superior handling of the STI to dodge the rain drops.
