    For some reason I was expecting an air-cooled Super Beetle. What the hell was I thinking?

    I can't wait to see more, Jamie.

    Many people enjoy eating apples and oranges, but in the end they are still… just apples and oranges. The R32 is passion fruit. . Live Long and Prosper.

    Quite frankly there is a lot more traffic in TCL & it's a really cool project that I think people will enjoy

    It is going to be custom as the Beetle has a different engine to rear suspension length from the Golf R and TT. The custom piece won't be done till after SEMA so for now we've modified the stock shaft to work.

    Jamie,

    Where will you be doing the photography? I was planning a photo session of my car on Saturday because I just got it back from the body shop.

    Maybe I could stop by, snap a few pics, and say hi?
