Wouldn't dare take it for a spin, but thanks for the offer :)

I work across the road from that Petrol station in the large mirror glassed building, first time I've seen you around, but see plenty of great looking bugs in the area daily :)

Miss my bug :(

No probs, it would have been difficult (or is that costly?) getting them to the UK anyway!

They're actually quite difficult to find now, plus I like what Alan did to the outer rim.

Craig, you actually thinking of selling?
Mate decided against it, wants something more modern. Whats he thinking!
But looking back over this, well got me interested.

Thought I'd ask!

I have now replaced the 'Redline' linkage and airfilter kit with CB aluminium top and bottoms, and have also installed the CSP centre mount linkage......what a great linkage system !

I LOVE the linkage.......cleans up the engine bay, is very well made, and gives 100% synchronisation of the carbs through the complete throttle range........and they stay synchronised !

Its well worth the $$ :tu:
