I got up to collect the beetle at Dave's place there last night and he's done fantastic work on it! It scorches along now and is so nice to drive! I've a bit of a snag list myself to get through now too so I'll be working through that between now and the big day. Got a new battery into it today and remade the starter motor connection cause it had gone to shit and I was having starting problems and the starter jumped to life like it didn't know what hit it when I turned the key so that's a big annoyance sorted! Didn't even have to put the hand in the pocket cause the battery I had had a 5 year warranty and it had only been 4 and I kept the receipt. Clever me! Next is to replace the oil filter lines, tidy up the engine bay wiring and get the fresh air ducting sorted out and a few other bits and pieces.

we got the tetnus running and driving today, roll cage bolted in properly, and a list of other jobs done, i said we neede to check the gearshift as we didnt know if it drived yet, so i took it to the bottom of the drive, then dave hopped in the back sitting on the luggage shelf floor and holding onto the roll bar, we blasted off down the lane and i was in bits with laughter, this thing is EPIC fun!!!! considering it has 1300 heads its awesome, we rekon potentially theres a 15 in it, it rips along lol, ive not had that much hooning fun in years, me and Dave are the dukes of loughgall!!!

Ok, so its about time we gave you another teaser prize, this time, its top bananna (as the others) But, these guys dont give these t shirts away, plain and simple, BUT on this occasion after speaking to a few club members, they are totally up for the fact that we are holding a drag day, and they want to be right behind it, all these guys started right here, doing exactly what we are about to do, they have 20+ years on us, but they havn't forgotten the roots of vw racing and have wholeheartedly donated one OUTLAW FLAT FOUR TEE SHIRT to be put into the prize fund for the day, now thats awesome, from serious drag racers, who can see far enough back and say "hey, we were there" and we support the air cooled drag day!!!!!
