Re: Roaring Race Rod
Thanks Paul. Most of the pictures were taken by Mike Schmucker from Studio 88.
He is an incredible photographer and we have an exciting project lined up , that is air cooled related of course.

. You know they lie on TV Yes Anton did 94 km/h , but the cars fastest was 140 km/h. With different wheels it should be able to join the 100 mph group. But Speedweek is not all about the top speed, it's the experience. If you haven't been there you missing out.

Re: Roaring Race Rod
Just confirming that Ignition GT blows ass.............lol.
I'd love to go...............that would be a seriously cool place for a group campout.
I dig Anton's style. And the car just oooooozes class.

Blitz. Here's some pictures of the interior as requested. The steering wheel comes off a Porsche Abarth. There were only 20 Abarth's ever built and it is one of the most collectible Porsches to own. We had two in SA.
Gary. Here's the engine built by Martin Radel.
