Yepn the v8 fasty was owned by Bob Thompson....hes brother works here in Coffs...nice find there Jako
The rotor...yes that came in late of the show..it had WOW factor
There are some great - and some not so good - memories there for me!
David Hack was a collegaue of mine who also wrote/photographed for Fast Fours magazine; top bloke. We lost him to cancer about three days before his
29th (?) birthday. He drove a 323 4WD (Familia) and loved the four-cylinder scene.
Back in the days before the WRX (pre 1994) probably the ultimate Subie conversion into a VW was the Vortex turbo engine and I wrote about a few -
including, I think, that one in your pics. Plus a few rotary VWs, and a mate did a yarn on a 13BT Porsche 911/912.
I think one of the Penrose lads had a rotor VW too? With suicide doors? Orange? Reckon it might have been Wayne
But the less said about Aussie Muscle Car rag and its thieving red-headed editor, the better
Very nice. Where do I get one of those DG300 five speeds?
Hi
I remember seeing the Aero Beetle with the Subi motor run at Oran Park, the owner had had a lot of birthdays.
Amazing how long the Aero guards have been around.

They are more designed for a mid engined setup as I understand it. I'm not sure if the gearbox or crown wheel is flipable, but I'm sure hewland you
could figure something out for you... 
Anyway, as you can't find a spare $15k (can't imagine why) it's all academic.
