My last bus was my 'ultimate' bus. 1958 RHD Samba, with original curved Devon interior, OG Gas Burners, all the tricks running a 2332cc with twin 48s, Porsche cooling etc.

'Ultimately' it was unusable and I sold it last year ... :lol:

My old Corrado G60 with full factory fitted electric recaro interior.
Best car I have owned performed outstanding and could still give 50+mpg on a long run.

In theory. But a fast, very low bus is actually slower than a 'stocker' in practice as you have to slow down for every ripple in the tarmac .... I prefer my 70 deluxe, mildly lowered and 1/6 of the price lol.

I hear you ;) I've been there myself i had s split that was very low , looks cool but hit a rut and its inside lane to outside lane in the blink of a eye :shock: that was in 2007 when narrowed 6 inch beams were fairly new to the scene ... I've a 70 bay too and absolutely love it its lowered 3 inch and its staying like that I've made so many memories in it it's part of the family ;) show cars are just that show cars

swapped the camo polo for a standard polo derby, after a bit of lowering and some stamags...
My poloon



then came the MK3
slammed on BMW BBS and Vento front end :)


then a sensible polo 6n again....
