And there are a second set with the street tyres on...  Awesome car, and Pete is obsessive about it being a street car! Drove to Avon Park, wrung it's neck and broke something in the valvetrain, then had to buy an A-frame and beg a tow home! Well, it's a street car, why would you need a trailer?  |

Ginga's a very bad thing. In the UK ginga's aren't trusted as they show devious habits. Such as Ballbag and Peach Suppose its better than having a forehead you can ski down, hey "Alfie" |

This is one of my favourite photos I have ever taken: 'Lil Pete' Shattock's 1776cc screamer launching hard at Bug Jam 2003. For those of you unfamiliar with the car, it is driven to the track, has the mufflers and street tyres replaced with stinger/slicks and then is driven like it was stolen! Runs 12.2 second quarters, has the street 'gear' bolted back on and is then driven 150 miles home. To me, this car is the absolute proof that you can build a competitive street and strip car that is at home both on the street and track. For me, Bug Jam 2003 was perhaps the pinnacle of interesting street cars turning up and blasting huge wheelies, then being driven home...   lovely car. i like the 'concept' off keeping the 1776cc engine a lot. now that i know he drives it everywhere and doesn't trailer it, i have even greater respect for that car |

I agree with Sarge, UD you look great in the launch pic. Not too far off note, but that was the first episode of the Munsters my two boys ever watched with me and how fitting it was a drag race show.

I remember years ago a VW powered Casket. It was in an issue of HotVWs, and for some reason I think it was a show back east, or at least east of Cali. |

Behind IGUANA , that is (was , because of no engine at this moment) . Drove it for years with a Typ 4 engine on the road all over here in germany and to races from france to holland , belgium , even to sweden ! Even holliday trips , i did with that car. Only the last year it was trailered to EBI 1 and to Budel , because of testing and making it not streetable within the laws here in germany anymore.... Will post some pics later... Carsten |

Mine  was driven 250 miles to the track, ran about 15 runs and then drove 250 back. Runs 14's so not as fast as some on here, but still feels good. Oh, it's on the stock 1300 gearbox |

Good morning Dave,
I would bet that my street car turned race car logs more miles per year then your car? If you look closely it's got current tags and insurance and all of it's original body pannels and firewall.
One day it will return to the street.
Troy
