Good run down.

So what colour undies was he wearing, boxers or briefs and does he dress to the left or right?


VWCOOL - December 13th, 2007 at 10:31 PM

oooh Stevie, we didn't know you cared, darls!

Thanks for that info.
They must be a good set of heads.
Must turn a fair bit of rpm on the hgh way!
Rod Richardsons tranny uses a 1.12 fourth gear, and that novelty wears off pretty fast.

Looks like those tall 1st and 2nd gears are what killed the ET.

Good stuff!
