Peter  ;)

Hi Peter,

My bug is from '68 and did a complete make over about ten years ago.. Now it has an Autocraft gearbox made by Steve's VW Shop and a 2.5l, 4 inch bore Autocraft turbo engine... I'm planning to race this summer at Spa and I'm sure we'll meet there! ;)

Here you have an interiorshot! :D

Wow another 9 sec car... that engine is sure good for it, when stian did it you can do it also  :D
Have fun and don't forget to finish at the end of the 1/4 mile on your 4 tyres and not at the roof ;)

Can't almost wait to kick your ass at SCC.

PS: Is there really nobody who recognized the engine?

Looking really forward to the new experience of turbo power... indeed it's not a secret anymore, it's ex Stian Abell "Tekken" Larsen's engine and I'm proud to have that monster in my car!!! ;)
