          1960 beetle ragtop, had '67 engine/gearbox, konis, reset torsion bars, camber compensator, and custom made 13x5.5 wheels, with racing tires. It was a fast time of day car at Long Island autocrosses in the late 1960s. I designed and built a twin carb intake for it, worked very well.

                Oooh I like it :) I had a 16v Montana Green GTI for years. Are those Citylights in the lenses?

                    1988 BMW 325, AlpineWieB on grey cloth. The PO had alread put a 4.10 LSD in it, I ghetto-stripped it and threw and b25i head on it. Little bugger had 211k miles on it and you pull to 6900 rpm like a champ and chirp third gear.

                    Flipped it end-over-end three times! :(

                      I bought it a few months after I turned 16 for $700

                      drove the crap out of it for a year, got it repainted, rebuilt the suspension, and then crashed it. :(

                                1991 SW21 Toyota MR2. Sold it and missed the hell out of it since. Hence the name.

                                Came really close to buying another one just now but it looks like I'm about to pull the trigger on an S50 swapped E30.
