It had a base 2 years ago.....but that was slow and gutless😂

It has a better 1915 in it now.

Oh and a BERG 5 speed is on its way 👍

Its not in yet but it has ALBIN gears and the Berg 5 speed kit is of high quality, so it should shift and perform perfectly 😉

Looks GREAT! You know that I am quite partial to that look - I LOVE the Twists 🙂

I prefer the twists on the ragtop too.

The Fuchs look good, but the twists just seem to add that 'edge' to it.

not that there is anything wrong with that, fuchs have feelings too

I was nearly thrown off a US VW site for mentioning the gay Mardi Gra and saying that I don't care as long as its not compulsory

Gay with fuchs but shit with cookies.

I love Fuch's but the Twists do look good on this car. It's all up to you Craig now that you're out of the closet. Have you got any dials, or maybe some burners, then you could have a different Porsche wheel on each corner....cool eh?
