Title: Sleeper VW Beetle
Post by: Morris Minor on October 24, 2022, 03:02:08 PM
Love this.
So stealth. I don't think I've ever driven a car with a crash gearbox. Maybe once one that had no synchro on 1st.

Cool. The tires are suspiciously wide, but they still look stock from the side.

You know how hard it is to find a woman that can appreciate a good TIG weld?

Or a woman who's willing to take on that daunting gearshift & appreciate the whys & wherefores.

Very nice.

I saw a VW on Reddit the other day with a 2 rotor Wankel that also looked pretty rad. Although less HP than I would hope for, not much more than a health 2000cc VW.
