AAaah, I guess this topic has been beaten to dead on every possible car&bike forum: what is a street car/bike. But I have to agree, even though e.g. the Outlaw cars are great, I don't really think they can be considered street cars. They are proper racecars to me, cars purely built for racing. Ever lighter, ever faster. I have to admit I don't know if they drive them apart from the 1/4 mile (and maybe from and to the track). But I bet mostly none of them ever participated in a ralleye. Cars like Jelle's (LowFastBus), now that is a streetcar, with the wear and tear to show for it. Runs at club do's all year long and it gets raced every once in a while with mid 13ns to show for it. Nicolas fasty is a streetcar, has been at the bugtour and has been on the track. Lee's Buggy, definately a street car, or do we consider his trip to SCC as from and to the track And even though watching the outlaws and similar racing is marvellous, seeing the Messiah launch his 67 daily driver in Bitburg trying to get the best of his 1600, resulting in a 17.35 is almost as exiting or at least interesting  Too bad street cars often don't come trailered Biturg is a long way from home  Below is Nicolas Messiaen, launching (lounging ). It is the one furthest away on all fours. |

Isnt this ment to be "street" vw's cause not many of the above look like daily/ sunny day street cars IMO Pick one and tell me why it isn't a street car, in your opinion ofcourse. I'll start, spot the one with a 1776 that is just off 11's and drove to Bug-In and back. Your go. |

I have a sneaky suspicion we are going to have a game of 'what's a street car and what's not a street car tennis' here. The trouble is, it often comes down to the country in which a person resides. In the US for @*&ks sake they seem to get away with slicks on the street  . Now call me old fashioned, but dem's purely race tyres and have no place on regular roads. Here in the UK the laws are relatively lenient regarding what you can and can't do with a car. All-out modification doesn't seem to affect our mot tests. YET!. Our Euro buddies however, have far stricter licensing laws and cannot get away with half as much as we do, therefore their idea of a street car will be lot different to ours... Like Marting says: "roll out the popcorn" coz this could be one long thread with no definitive answer And anyway, Jim's thread is all about cool pix so here's one for ya...  |

Bernies. Seen many street miles? I was actually going to post a picture of Phils car at that time by itself just in case some knob one mentioned the car in the background but I didn't think anyone would. |

Sadly I can’t lay claim to this being a street car as I have never picked anyone up from school in it and I know for a fact that it has been on a trailer, several times in fact. More than that though; at one point there were some sissy sticks in the garage it’s kept in.  |
