No, I'm actually quite happy with my disk brakes, IRS suspension, wind-down front windows, sliding rear door, t/p 1600 that doesn't get circumcised by a reduction gearbox, thank you! :drunks:

Sad that you don't see very many Bay DCs on the roads today :(

Early Bays are still cooler than Splitties, in my opinion :mrgreen:

1. Your comments are invalid because your username is beetlepower.

2. You're completely misreading the history...the Bay's were so Fugly that they bought the splittie back. :mrgreen:

Hi All,

Having driven both Splits and bays for a number of years, I think I can say that although I have equal respect for both of them, the bay was-----

Hmmmm---------

Actually I think I am preaching to deaf ears here---so I am not going to continue.

LOL
