There will be a nice White 68 Beetle from Sydney competing in the rally

I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true

K.G. is owned/driven by a guy by the name of Renee Felkl.
and yes, it is a seriously quick car.
It has a few mods, but all within the strict guidelines and regulations of the rally requirements. 😉
Renee tends to play his cards fairly close to his chest in regards to mechanicals.

I belive this is the 2nd one he has had, The first rolled in the first ever Classic Adelaide and is now crushed into a small cube of metal! This is exactly how the old one was. Extremely nice car but as vwtyp2 said, dont know much about actual mechanicals. And the white 68 was navigated by Adam DeBiassi. Another local Sth Aussie VW enthusiast,

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

The white beetle with Epping real Estate on the side?? Owned by a guy called Ben I think... My brother in law was in the Classic Adelaide on the w'end. Don't know how he went though.

Rene has anumber of different engine combos up to 2386cc & runs a Berg-5 I think. Unfortunately he isnt a drag racer because he is roumered (?) to have more HP than any other VW type 1 (street N/A ) in Australia...by a long way!
