  1. The Gadget show have just sent a drag car powered by chainsaw motors down the Santa pod drag strip. terminal speed 72 74mph. run time 13.94 seconds??!! That beats mr Stig and Tony then!!!!!???? So get rid of those huge power VR engines and get some chainsaws in there!!!!!!!!
  2. I'm currently watching the Gadget Show on Cannel 5, and during the Ad break, there was I thought a clever little ad from VW going through it's history. Just thought I'd share that with you all............
  3. The finish on those is awefull, I saw one in Tesco's car park in Welshpool about 2 months ago, Had a closer look. Actually like the overall look of the car, but the finish leaves sooooo much to be desired......

  13. Bloody hell... they must have been some BIG sunglasses the car was wearing!!!!!!
  14. No, to stop them from rubbing on the suspension. I don't think I'll have a problem with them rubbing the arches as I've only dropped the car by an extra 15mm over standard VR6 height!!!!
