Hi Nathan,
Just joined up, I own a Concept FVG88 (in bits) and a bent Concept GS83 (chassis and body) but probably more often seen driving a GS82 in hill
climbs.
Confused, well I was until the current enforced break from competing occured in 2001.
Regards,

Maybe that will be the next project.... Right after finishing the turbo/intercooled/efi 2276 for my Ragtop, not to mention the Ragtop itself, then the
narrowed beam and brake upgrade on the Notch and then of course there is the SVX conversion on the Bus...... This might take a while..... I wish I
could just get another me to finish my studies for me, n keep the wife happy, n make the bux to pay the bills.... Typical VW owner
huh!....LOL!!....One day....

I raced an Elfin Vee about 40 years back. If I had one now, I'd have it out on the track NOW, not in the shed!
Vee racing is really great, and - given half a chance - I'd back in a Vee (1200) like a shot.
Cheers, Greg
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Hahahaha your right Ian. I can srug down enough to just get by inspection tho!....Only just!
Im actually sitting directly on the floorpan in that car but can slide my bum any further forward as my knees are already pretty much on the steering
bulkhead!!!
never fear, its being re-birthed as a 1600 so it will have a new and higher rollhoop anyway.
I do like that particular pix tho!
