Here we go, Mountain Straight Hillclimb.
The fastest hillclimb in the country, and the scariest by a long shot, but we love it.
Last run of the day and weekend, wanted to crack a 55second run. ended with a 54.98.
Was so happy and shaking after the run i had to sit down for a few minutes. then go and have a pee. 
Cheers Col

Pretty damned quick, Col.
Has Brian seen these vids?........He must be proud. Hope he is well.
I'd rather wear a Beetle out by racing it than by polishing it!

Ha ha, probably Isuzu.
Nothing good has come out of Germany
since they stopped using flat fours.

I know im quoting myself but i thought the fact that a 3sge is a toyota motor may give rise to some debate! dunno if he has changed it since ipra
days!

I think its the same old story build it to the rules, unfortunatly vw doesnt give us access to cheap go fast goodies or multivalve variable cam timing
style cylinder heads, and we have to develop our own components to make the difference.Have seen an awsome exampletype 1 vw hybrid with subie ohc
heads grafted on to it on this forum, quite a bit of thinking outside the square if u want to be competitve you have to use latest tech thats
available, not 50 year old tech, been racing against these hi tech jap rockets for years in sprints u can beat them but shit its hard work,but head
down ars up and get into it cheers Rudi
