He went looking in the back of my garage and found this one that he likes . If that wasn't good enough for him , he than wanted me to deliver it , so here it is on the back of my truck ready for delivery , ROD.
So am I right in thinking that this is two engines you have or are giving away for free and all they have to do is go drag racing.

Am I missing something here. Are you dieing or do you have a few hail Marys to make up for doing something really bad 😂😂😂😂

Don't get me wrong, I think it is great that you can help others out and it is also promoting VW racing. Just rare to see this sort of thing 👍👍👍👍

P.S. I will be along soon to pick up those other couple of FREE parts I need 👍😵😁🤪
I thought rebuilding a VW would be cheap - Shit I was wrong, just don't let the wife know !!!!

Paying it forward is a real feeling of personal achievement, helping someone else make their dreams reality is the payoff😎. I'm realistically to far off for this opportunity & I see some others that could really benefit from Rod's generosity so if it were to be someone that is reasonably established in the sport would it be food for thought that they might consider doing the same for someone else that's at a lower / entry level as a good will gesture.
Cool is in the eye of the beholder.🤘

WOW, two engines. You truely are a generous bloke Rod. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say thank you (Not in a sense of recieving anything, but in a sense that you have shown that there are still legitmate, genuine people out there).

Have a good one.

as a relative newcomer to this VW scene, can I just say- this doesn't happen anywhere else on earth, never have I seen an engine builder randomly give away an engine. Rod, my hat comes off to you sir. may the engine go to someone deserving, and may it run long and strong.
Newbie dubber- where does the coolant go???

I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Massive thanks to Rod Penrose Racing for his generosity, I'm stoked that Rod thinks that i'm worthy of an upgrade. The car will need some mods to accommodate the new power and will be ready for the next round of the 1/8 mile series in Gladstone.
Thanks
Frosty
