True cal-lookers are built to drive

[Dokke/DFL]

i drove my bug a lot this summer, even 800km in one week... now that was a great feeling!

In my opinion you can not compare driving a standard bug with 1300 engine to a real cal-looker with big IDA engine ...
Is totally NOT the same !!!

i agree on the engine, hopefully that will change soon...
but i don't consider my bug standard, i know you saw me at Budel (if you did realize who i was) but that's not what my bug looks like anymore these days.

n.b. we all gotta start somewhere  and some need to save before they invest

Everybody have to save first ... but this is not the issue.
It's about if true cal-looker are built to drive or not.

And my opinion still says that true cal-lookers are built to drive, but to drive 800 km each week, I don't know ...
But driving 800 km each week with a standard ( semi standard ) beetle is really OK. But it's different, believe me.
I have 2 beetle's which both have the look of a cal-looker, but the beige one has a standard engine with 2 single carbs which
my wife use it for daily driver and the blue one has bigger engine with IDA. I don't use the blue one for daily driver.
Trust me, it's totally different ...

if I have my engine ready my car will come to the bug-in by its own power!
1250km each way that's nothing   

as for putting it on the strip...well, is that original 64 box going to hold? We'll have to try
