Thanks guy, another well deserved trophy for Lanny's awesome work. I really had a great week end, and thanks Ivan for the geat hospiltality from the Volksword crew. So many nice VW enthousiasts from all over europe and a bunch of wonderful bugs & bus of all style VOW it made my day for three days... And I also had the icing on the cake, I found a Volksworld back issue from 1996 with this...     Book me in for next year Ivan! madfrog |

Lanny you should be rightly very proud of the car
the interior alone is fantastic. Not to mention fit and finish of the tinware , under carriage, wiring etc etc

Yup, it's easy to see why that car is a former Ultra VW Feature Car of the Year! Very cool... |

100% better? Lanny, I know you prefere the car with the 135/15 as we discussed before, but the braking ability and the ride is fabulous with those 155/55 XAS FF. I wish you could drive it now to give me your feedback. As for the look, it is up to each one but I do like it with the 155 as well. It gives the car a nice old school look. Great car with any tires on anyway madfrog |

Good points..I'm guilty of choosing appearance over performance. The best driving VW I've ever built has 16" alloys w 205-45-16 (F), 235-45-16(R) tires. Not my favorite look but an amazing car to drive. Light steering, smooth ride and excellent cornering. Can you bring the Caldwells on your carry on luggage?... |
