front end hot bug" reckons it sounds awesome, wish i still lived there, got any custom plates planned for it by any chance? or have they gone up from
the whopping 70bux for them by now.

$140 for plates now.... haven't really narrowed down the plate search....really want a small 3 character one...which limits it!

They'll be gone before we know it. They're also talking of introducing a demerit points system for our drivers licence too. Give it a couple of
years and it will be hard to register anything modified like my bug.
VWFREAK - January 13th, 2006 at 09:04 PM
Well done Reub!!! I'll be waiting at the lights with video camera in hand for our first race down the stewart highway. Thats if you can keep
up.lol
"Water's for Pussies". lol
Can't wait.

Well if Reub makes the trip so will I!
As for those de-restricted speed limits.... dam I can't imagine holding a vw at speed (160-180+) for an extended period of time. Over the 1/4 is
fine, but you don't encounter pot holes on a drag strip.
Actually I can imagine it, but it would involve regular stops to freshen up the underwear. At least Reubs car will probably have air conditioning by
then!
Congrats again on passing engineering dude!
