LIFE IN THE LOW LANE - February 2nd, 2008 at 03:48 PM

Mate I have just watched all the clips and love the commentry. Does anybody else race something apart from a Commodore or Falcon!!! I love the way in one clip they are talking up the commodore for the win then the light drops and you simply leave him sitting in the Chop Top. Awesome mate well done. Made my day!!!!

Are they calling the Chop Top a "Baja"?!?!?!:crazy:

is there anything there that the VWRX DOESN'T embarrass? :yes:
good stuff Reub

great bunch of vids Reub . Well done mate !! looks like you guys up there are having heaps of fun embarrassing the drivers of the holdens and fords . EXCELLENT !!

Nice work Reub - I love thinking about the cursing and carrying on that happens in the cabins of all the fords and commo's half way down the strip when they know they've been well and truly pumped by a bug!

:lol:

Great work Reub. Never heard an announcer so polite, not like the nob head we have here at WSID.

Each time I went to hear the time for the VWRX someone in there 15sec Commondore was laying rubber and couldnt hear a final time, what was your best, couple of the starts looked very tight.

Thanks guys...

The vids of vwrx are from 2006 and the vids of the 58 are from last year.
VWRX is still slow in these vids...best of 13.09@105mph...still not bad given the 2 hours of street tuning it had...

Have to raise the funds for a Dave Butler gearbox rebuild for the G50 this year...yes Dave, it's still coming :)...eventually. Speaking of which, can you U2U me your address and I'll send the manual down to you...
