not my cup of tea, but gotta appreciate the amount of work and dollars that go into a machine like this.

Hi Wayne,

I was talking to you yesterday out at the show and I will be very surprised if this car is not the winner of the show.

Congratulations to all involved :tu:

LIFE IN THE LOW LANE - July 22nd, 2012 at 08:14 PM

Not the sort of thing I would do to a VW but the attention to detail and the engineering that has gone into this car is nothing short of amazing. Looks superb and from what the pics show worthy of winning something for sure!!

Congrats to all involved !!! :tu:
