Hope I'm not dredging up one that's too old. If so flip me some cr@p and be done with it!!
Daily (Commuter) Driver and occasional Auto-X'er 2001 New Beetle Turbo nothing fancy gets me to work and back.
My other car is a 1973 RHD Mini, imported from UK in 1998 got it on the road in 2000 modified from front to back. Added Sportspack Flares (Arches) , 13 inch Mini-Lites, Engine out of a late John Cooper Works Mini, lumpier cam, head has been ported, polished and flowed, roller rockers, dual SU carbs, dyno's out at 81 HP on rollers, Adjustable suspension on stock type rubber cones, interior has been worked over starting with addition of Webasto electric sunroof, Cobra Classic Clubman seats. Color is Black on Flame Red, (stock color combination). The only drag with it being "not stock" is when we Auto-X it gets bumped up to run with the New MINI's, New Beetles, Honda's, it holds it's own there though.
We got the Mini after a string of US made Iron, a few air cooled Bugs (Oval Window and Convertibles), Camaro's, '65 GTO which were fun cars. Then decided to do something really different and get a Mini which has been an absolute blast. One of the first things that I did right after importing it was swap it over to LHD then two years ago I swapped it back to RHD which adds a whole lot to the whole "Mini experience"!
We got looks with our Muscle Cars but we weren't prepared for the attention that this gets at the car shows. We had a guy at one of the local cruise nights actually move his then brand new Camaro away from us because it was attracting far more attention than his! Like Hot Rod touted in the '80's "Dare to be Different", this is really different.
Thanks for Looking.
