Prob a safe check for all late Type 3 owners and possibly Bugs as Im sure the set up is the same. The overflow pipes on these cars go hard over time and need to be replaced ( I have not done of course but will). It can pop off and with a full tank will leave a wonderful trail of fuel onto your rear tyre when doing a hard left hander.

So when Im minding my own business Im all of a sudden sideways. Thought maybe someone else had left it but 15km later and almost home, sideways again

Didnt realise fuel was so slippery.

So in short, take a few seconds and make sure the hose is secure. Thank God it wasnt wet and I was by myself.

yep - 250 ponies at the wheels had NOTHING t do with it

and a heavy right foot

Easy, I will be the first to admit my foot is a tad heavy, but this time (luckily) I was just purring, if not I was certainly in that concrete barrier
