Title: Re: Gimini Pro street, Almost ready Post by: sven on July 12, 2008, 21:06:14 pm But first I would like to trey the Gardermoen race track at SCC, does anybody knows what would be the best way to travel?
Title: Re: Gimini Pro street, Almost ready Post by: JS on July 12, 2008, 21:28:34 pm Sven, we would be honored to have your car racing at SCC!
The best way to travel from Belgium IMO is to take the A1 highway though Germany to Puttgarden, take the ferry to Rødbyhavn, Denmark and proceed to take the bridge from Copenhagen DK to Malmø, SW or the Ferry From Helsingør, DK to Helsingborg, SW. When you take the bridge it´s about 1550km. We drove in one sitting from Oslo - Chimay for EBI this year and used about 21hrs. Last year we went by ferry from Oslo - Fredrikshavn,DK. IMO it´s better and faster to drive trough Sweden. It really depends if you like to enjoy the ferry, or drive and get there a bit cheaper and quicker. You may want to check with Vanessa and the other DAS club members wich route they will be taking. If you require further information, PM me and I will do all I can to help! Title: Re: Gimini Pro street, Almost ready Post by: ESH on July 12, 2008, 21:31:06 pm Very cool, looking forward to seeing it at SCC. 8)

I would take the A1 through Germany up to Kiel and the ferry to Göteburg . from there it is may be 3 hours to Gardermoen . This ferry travels over night so you save time and have a good trip . Next weekend you can do some test and tune at Bitburg if you like ;) Udo Title: Re: Gimini Pro street, Almost ready Post by: sven on July 14, 2008, 08:40:10 am Hi Udo,
Its is € 1000 for the Ferry for my T5 + trailer and 3 perons :-[ Next weekend I'm in Italy for a holiday and I have seen their is no test and tune in July in Bitburg, I gues we have to find another solution. I guess I will have to race you in Gardermoen ;) Title: Re: Gimini Pro street, Almost ready Post by: wolfswest on July 15, 2008, 08:57:40 am I've seen the car in real life last week and it sure looks promising! :o :o Changed a bit when I last saw it @ DDD I think 2 years ago...
Dem Title: Re: Gimini Pro street, Almost ready Post by: Roman on July 15, 2008, 16:20:39 pm It looks promising! Have you raised the transmission?
Title: Re: Gimini Pro street, Almost ready Post by: Udo on July 15, 2008, 18:02:39 pm Hi Udo, The ferry from Frederikshavn to Oslo is only 250 euros less Its is € 1000 for the Ferry for my T5 + trailer and 3 perons :-[ Next weekend I'm in Italy for a holiday and I have seen their is no test and tune in July in Bitburg, I gues we have to find another solution.

Title: Re: Gimini Pro street, Almost ready Post by: Liou on July 17, 2008, 13:33:28 pm very nice work this bug lol and very beauty pro street perfect
Title: Re: Gimini Pro street, Almost ready Post by: Mike Lawless on July 17, 2008, 17:07:36 pm Very wicked car and very nice workmanship!
An observation... The location of your fuel fitting at the top of the frame head. Have you checked for interference with your tie-rods? I put mine there without thinking, although maybe an inch farther forward, and the tie rod intersected that very point when it arc'd through its travel. Or is that a rack & pinion steering box mount right behind the fuel fitting? Title: Re: Gimini Pro street, Almost ready Post by: sven on July 17, 2008, 18:01:56 pm No, no problems, I don't say that I have much space, bit it works.
Title: Re: Gimini Pro street, Almost ready Post by: Mike Lawless on July 17, 2008, 21:12:31 pm OK I can see how the tie rods are arranged now. Very cool and clean arrangement!
Title: Re: Gimini Pro street, Almost ready Post by: Neil Davies on July 18, 2008, 09:08:31 am I love the shock absorber mounts - very well thought out. This car seems to have the contrast of stock bodywork and paint while looking absolutely insane! I'd love to see more of it! :)

Its a great work on the frame and the car looks fabulous Title: Re: Gimini Pro street, Almost ready Post by: sven on August 03, 2008, 17:46:18 pm Hi Neil,
You have seen it right, the setup was to build a super street but without the look from a shopping cart at the back. especially the front is just like an normal old scool bug, at the back we did just what was necessary to cover the engine. The first meeting will be SCC, and than DDD. Maybe we meat at one of this meetings. Title: Re: Gimini Super street, Almost ready Post by: sven on August 03, 2008, 18:08:58 pm Hi Neil,
Yes this, the setup was to build a Super street without the look from a shopping cart at the back from the car. Especially at the front it looks like a normal old scool beetle. The first time I will come out with it will be at SCC and than DDD, maybe we can meat at one of this meetings. Now he is resting to be ready for SCC, he will be need it, those Scandinavians are strong. Title: Re: Gimini Super street, Almost ready Post by: sven on August 03, 2008, 18:14:20 pm test
