to deliver it , so here it is on the back of my truck ready for delivery , ROD.

So am I right in thinking that this is two engines you have or are giving away for free and all they have to do is go drag racing.
Am I missing something here. Are you dieing or do you have a few hail Marys to make up for doing something really bad 
Don't get me wrong, I think it is great that you can help others out and it is also promoting VW racing. Just rare to see this sort of thing 
Kev
P.S. I will be along soon to pick up those other couple of FREE parts I need

Paying it forward is a real feeling of personal achievement, helping someone else make their dreams reality is the payoff . I'm realistically to far off for this opportunity & I see some
others that could really benefit from Rod's generosity so if it were to be someone that is reasonably established in the sport would it be food for
thought that they might consider doing the same for someone else that's at a lower / entry level as a good will gesture.
Cool is in the eye of the beholder.  |

WOW, two engines. You truely are a generous bloke Rod. I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say thank you (Not in a sense of recieving anything, but
in a sense that you have shown that there are still legitmate, genuine people out there).
Have a good one.

as a relative newcomer to this VW scene, can I just say- this doesn't happen anywhere else on earth, never have I seen an engine builder randomly
give away an engine. Rod, my hat comes off to you sir. may the engine go to someone deserving, and may it run long and strong.
Newbie dubber- where does the coolant go???

OK, if you keep up with this, Rodney will need a new [bigger] helmet.....and they are expensive !

Massive thanks to Rod Penrose Racing for his generosity, I'm stoked that Rod thinks that i'm worthy of an upgrade. The car will need some mods to
accommodate the new power and will be ready for the next round of the 1/8 mile series in Gladstone.
Thanks
Frosty
