Definetly <span style="font-weight: bold">not</span> Porsche Fuchs, but Speedwell BRMs as mentioned. Perhaps originals, judging by the original "vintage" shot. Very rare, and very pricey these days.
5x205mm bolt circle, VW or could be drum-brake Por-shuh.

Oldsmobile Jetfire, I think. I remember reading about them in a magazine article probably almost 20 years ago.

And now for that <span style="font-style: italic">unsightly</span> Cosmoline® overspray. Didn't the factory worker in Germany know you'd get nailed because of their sloppy application?

If DW grants you storage space, and the car does not require keys, please let me know what the bolt pattern is for the wheels. I will provide mud tires for "test and tune" in the field behind the shop.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">Think of all the 356 Porsches that were junked so that a VW fan could run a hot engine in his Bug or dunebuggy. I sold 10 Porsche 356s to a foreign car salvage yard. I owned them for one day. I doubled my money but have been kicking myself ever since. </div></div>
Given the cost of Porsche stuff vs. warming-up a VW motor, I'm prtty sure most P-cars were safe from that fate.

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">The other thing is how far are you going to go? I believe the AACA has always said that as long as it was an option for that model and year it was ok. Are we going to start saying that now you have to have the exact paint color the car started with?</div></div>
What about the "weight" that a given organization's credibility carries? If you are serious about buying a Corvette, for example, you might look at if a car has achieved NCRS certification versus an AACA Senior or Grand National, or whatever, award. Not all marques have thier own organization such as this, but if it does, I would say that there is where these details are meaningful versus an all-inclusive stage.
The fact that mis-represented cars are able to get through at AACA events is indeed unfortunate, but because of the wide range of stuff that is included I have to believe that it would be impossible to get that personal with each car that shows up. As the viewers, we'll just have to take these cars with a grain of salt.

That would be terrible, wouldn't it? *GASP*

If anyone reading regularly attends, or is coming to town for the AACA Fall meet, here's an event to check out:
Harrisburg Area Volkswagen Owners' Club is holding its last monthly cruise night for the year on Thursday, October 6. This is during AACA Fall Hershey meet week.
DejaVu Restaurant and the grounds have officially been SOLD, and October's edition of the HAVOC Cruise Night will be the last at this location.
Sooo...we'd like to make this the largest cruise ever and go out with a bang. Please come out and enjoy the night.
As ususal:
Thursday, October 6
6-9 p.m.
DejaVu Resturant
rt 39, north of Hershey PA
Much thanks to everyone who has come out with us for the last 3 years, these events have been a blast. Look forward for something new in 2006.
What should I make out of these?

Perhaps you have a bicycle that could use a new seat?
