Billet tyres don't have much grip.

I didn't wanna say it before so as not to offend but you all seem to be on the same wave length, the billet bug just does nothing for me at all not even in an eighties kinda way. But worst of all is that it was feature car in Unique Cars a few months back as representation of whats going on in the world of Volkswagens

nice research ya knob.

He was on Channel 31 down here being interveiwed on that classic resto's program. He made such a big deal about how he never drives it anyware, and spends a week or two cleaning everything before any show. Wha the f@#K???? Its a fatty bug with heaps of super cheap, kmart, home built junk bolted all over it. If you build a car, ANY car, for god sake drive it. Its not a bloody shrine, its A CAR. If you have the guts to build a car, at least grow some balls and drive it. Im getting mad, I'll leave it at that.

Hmm. Thanks for the education. I don't think I have ever seen/noticed it before. Think I'd remember those lights! Not my personal cuppa, but each to their own.

Ahh, yes, there it is.

Thought I'd post the few pics I took of the day:

It was a miserable day and my photos are no good.
