Come on Steve....did you have an electric drill on the speedo cable   Did the old Shoo Rooter really go that fast
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

That's the trouble with bloody cordless drills. I
like my cordless hammer, though.

Thanks every one for the great support , the Roo Shooter has also set a new record world wide over 1000m run according to the official VW LSR site run
by Burly in the USA. To be honest I was also surprised at the initial acceleration but a close study of the link shows how much harder to gain speed
over the 100mph mark, plans are to use the bus as much as possible in motorsport events .... will keep posting any more attempts. Steve
