Hi Wayne,

I was talking to you yesterday out at the show and I will be very surprised if this car is not the winner of the show.

Congratulations to all involved 👍

Not the sort of thing I would do to a VW but the attention to detail and the engineering that has gone into this car is nothing short of amazing. Looks superb and from what the pics show worthy of winning something for sure!!

Congrats to all involved !!! 👍
