They told him he'd never walk again but he proved them wrong. He took the old Porsche 911 engine (rear mounted) and put it in a 1973 Bug. It was the fastest Bug around! I have vivid memories of being in the back of that Bug doing 70+ around the country lanes of Surrey at night. Exhilarating.

Congrats Melly,
Us 'Bug-gers' have to stick together - mine is a triple white called Bella - if we were closer they could have had a play date :D |

Hi:
I last owned a bug in 1976 -- my first and only to be sure -- 1968, Green, last year with the swing axles, 1500 single port engine. One of my favorite VW ads: http://www.vwbug.com/vintageads/getad.php?id=3&sz=sm Another favorite, which ran only ONCE in July 1969 http://www.greatvwads.com/pix/ad24.htm |

Try googling Brian Burrows and have a look at his collection and history with VW's then tell me it was the fastest bug around. Not even close.

Re: New Car :)
I've seen so many bugs driving around America I lost count!
Same said for Mustangs as well - myself I'm opting for a Toyota Celica 2006 http://www.kfz.net/autobilder/toyota...ta-celica1.jpg mmmmm sexy on wheels! |
