Hi Ian,

You said he even has beer in his engine room. Well looking at your double posts of photos, I think you must have been building and engine or two 馃槀馃槀馃槀馃槀

Obviously the bloke is short for a dollar, NOT 馃檯馃檯馃檯馃檯

You will have to PM me some details of where these places are as I am going over later in the year 馃榾

Thanks for the photos, Kev

wow i had no idea of the lightning bug/sp tools connection. that has totally spun me out.


are the tools any good?

ian.mezz 路

the story they told us about the stuff they did to that little bug to get it to run fast was amazing

Amazing car. I use SP Tools all the time. I had no idea that the company was owned by a VW racer!

whatnow 路

not just a vw drag racer...

paul and mark schley are legends in thier own lifetimes.

one of, if not the, first beetle into the 10's

the first vw into the 9's

they were doing it at the same time as inch pincher 2, tar babe, undedog, iguana, thunderbug
etc.

Unfortunately, not having lived through the 1970s I managed to miss all of that! Still, I'm catching up now. Looks like some amazing cars.

Paul and Mark are the nicest guys,
I met them at Euro bug in 3 and was invisted up to the house when I was over for the classic week a few yrs ago and couldn't make it, gutted.

They have such great stories of when Mark was painting Deano Dynosoar ida manifolds with the famous dds purple and have purple snot for days after馃檯

wow awesome. u would feel confident if u motor was being built there

ian.mezz 路

the wheels and the body was paper thin to get the weight down.
they even moved the centre of the con rod to loose some weight 馃お
I glad they found the old lightning bug in Mexico and rebuilt him to show every body.
