i can remember taking my ghia out for a stroll one day and seeing a host of police cars at the end of my street as they had pulled over somebody and thought to myself/self...now would be a bitchin time to show these cops what a vw will do ..not thinking rational at the time i proceded to bang through the gears and got about 1/8 mile away to the stop light then made a right to come back to my neighborhood another 1/8 mile or so when i had noticed a motorcycle in my rear view mirror that was getting close but no match for me so i slowed down in an effort to race it and when i saw that it was a cop i decided to outrun him back to my home...red lights and siren now turned on coming into my hood i pulled over 50 yards from my house only to get the third degree on the curb as the cop said he clocked me at over 90mph and was pulling away from him as if he was sitting still on his kawazaki 1000/he proceded to write me a ticket for excessive speed/exhibition of speed/speed contest/and evaiding a police officer...argh..!!!upon waiting for backup officer to arrive the cop giving me my ticket began walking around my car shaking his head the whole time and when the other cop arrived he gave me a "thumbs up"behind the other officers back so i felt somewhat better knowing my efforts were appreciated so i thought. we began to talk and the "new"cop that just arrived just drooled over my car the whole time and had confided with me that the first officer hated vw's ...i told the cool cop my name and instantly became friends as i found that he owned a vw and had seen me race and heard me announce at the bug ins...the uncool cop insisted that they impound my car and when the cool cop talked with him in brief he came back to me and just said "SIGN HERE AND I BETTER NEVER CATCH YOU AGAIN"....my reply was ..."thank you for the ticket but i wont let you catch me next time"..!! dyno

Fabs, any chance you could find some more cool feature cars from late 1980's-early 1990's. I'd love to see the blue turbo sedan on cookie cutters.... if you can find it... I'm guessing 1987-1988(?) you ARE the archivist...  thanks, |

Dyno,
Was that the car you gave me a ride in one time in front of the OCIR Fairgrounds? It was killer fast with the fourbarrel carb on it?

How about orange late model car, from Lake Tahoe, had 189hp Arao Engineering motor (w/ IDAs) in it.... same feature had the wife's K Ghia (w/ big motor too) featured. The orange car was a demon. Love to see that feature too! |

I know. i will never forget the self portrait you did on the dry erase board of you and your "thought processes" (42 x 37, FK89, 48IDA, 2276, 5.352", 94mm...etc) too funny. |
