Hi Rod
This is the end of an era, sorry to hear about this, I bet its not something you didn't think about very carefully.
Good luck with the sale.

"This car weighs 609 kg's"
That is a great priced car for anyone getting into racing....about 125kg lighter than mine!
Dave , that's because white paint is very very heavy . The start line weight is probably the same , ROD.
Never thought I would see the day.............you must be having too much fun going around in circles.
Andrew , you are correct , I am having fun going around corners , But I need the space and I have a new drag car to finish before Warwick this year and with 19 cars here I have lost the interest and no time to spend on them , ROD.
Seems Cheap.
Well done rod and this car for boosting the scene and the recognition of VW's going fast in australia.
Cant ait to see the new one!
