James do you want to have a think about this.

Following the criptic thread is it windscreen wipers ?

A trifle pedantic

Hell they all have MOT's are insured and 'can be driven on the road for a good distance.  its all good. faster vw's is what its all about

i dont care if you change onto methanol, use loads of gas run big turbo's, there out there doing it, running super gas times. and to me who's been into dragracing for god knows how many years, running super gas times is awsome, let alone being able to pop to the shops in them!

So long as the motors stay in the back and we have to use a clutch to change gear and pull on that shifter. thats what maters to me. its fooking incredible that this little old motor designed in 1938 (ish) can do so much!


I just hope my car can live up to the above, which sometimes i have my douts! but time will tell.

Well said Martin 

I don't have any doubt's even as you have already said all you have to do is pull on that shifter

Good luck and we need to know when you are going to unleash the beast.

Think about what Martin 

I seem to remember him mapping it on the M56 whilst being mot'd and taxed. That's my definition of street legal in my book 

And he drove the bus to York and back with the same engine in the bus.That's 100 miles each way

At least we understand what you guys are implying.  To be honest in my mind Pauls car is and was a street car and nothing else. IMHO

We are supposed to be celebrating aircooled performance

"We are supposed to be celebrating aircooled performance  "

That seems to get lost amongst the point scoring lately, very sad.

[too old for this]

Martin there's no need to take your car all the way up to Manchester to get a M56 MOT
you can just call Ritchie and get one through the post for £50 but I guess you know that
 

It's a bit dodgy though sometimes you pay £50 and get nothing except ripped off 

[james wotton]

All I can say is if you need a moody M.O.T then your car is not street legal.
