OKY DOKY! here is my long awaited trip report! hope you like, bit of a rush job etc etc...
In the bible, the Lord rested on the seventh day...
But as for Flat Four, we were meeting at narellan Mcdonalds for a cruise to Custom Bugs and Busses' Free dyno day! a tidy cruise neatly blending old and new with Steve and Murray's Caravelles, Paul's beetle restoration debut was a hit, stuart in his ever-so-stunning racer, and my own little baby kikko... well it runs! The drive down was very smooth, if you don't count that we got lost twice. when we arrived at CBB we knew we were in for a great day of bugs, busses, dynos and reds diner.
As the day progessed from sunny, to hot, to scorching, so did the quality and power of cars being tested. Even non-VW cars turned up to join in the festivities, including some very nice harleys and hot rods. Dave becker's Call look beetle pumped an astonishing 134 horses, or 100 kilowatts in that newfandangled system, (dont get me started on what happened when i gave the canteen man 5 shillings for my kebab...) Murray suprised all with 80 horses from his ute, and stewart was awarded red's dub of the day. Now it was time for what we had all been waiting for: CBB had promised us a methanol drinking beast to run the dyno (I bet you all thought it was steve) and what a show it was... blowing records and eardrums with an amazing 250+ horsepower.
As most left just after midday i decided to stay on along with stewart to see what else was to arrive, and as terribly burnt as i was afterwards, it certainly was worth it, with a bestly orange baja running the most powerful street registered beetle of the day with 157. It was then that i decided Kikko needed her legs stretched, and a few seconds later she was on the rollers blowing more smoke than the drag car and running an incredibly low 28... Well it runs! Come 4pm it was time for even us die-hard horsepower fans to head home, but not before dave becker ran again, this time with stinger attached which added another 5, not bad at all!
as i headed home, face burning, ears ringing, i couldn't help but think that there is no better way i would have spent my sunday. Thanks to Custom Bugs and Busses for opening their brand new store and putting on a brilliant day, Reds diner for some great tucker, and all who participated in the dyno day for making such a hot day worthwhile.

I have a video of dave becker's on the dyno, just need someone to host it. Its pretty big.
My 1600SP pulled a axle snapping, rubber burrning 38.6RWHP, which is down 0.4 HP from last time it was dynoed 🙂 woo hoo!
That black car made something like 120HP from memory?? And yes it was a 1916 with IDA's
The drag car made around 270HP

You got the video with the stinger?
How big is the file?
I got a ton of video but need to convert it all to something useable.

Man, that's keen leaving a splitty single cab in front of the cars being tested 😠
Any one know details on the T3 dual cab, and what it ran?
Be interested to know🙂

Andy, no chance of the splitty being damaged as all the cars are harnessed to the floor.
Late in the arvo we have a nice Baja come in and did a huge run on the dyno.... just can't recall what it's HP was. Later in the day (4 o'clock) we had a Golf turn up for a turn on the Dyno too.
I thought there would have been more spectators there but it was a good turnout for the day.

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.
