JPennant: Heheh. Im daydreaming of tricking out a beetle wit the dune suspension and a VR6 engine. Painting it white with blue racing stripes and calling it...... Herbie. :-)
McClint: hahahaha
JPennant:THAT would be cool. :-)
McClint: i think the VR6 would torque the hell out of the chassis and tear it apart :-)
JPennant:Its doable :-)
McClint: oh you meant a New Beetle
JPennant:Yep :-)
McClint: hahaha well that would work, but i have my doubts about the engine compartment. it may be the same chassis, but different engine compartment
JPennant:Ive heard of Beetles with VR6 in them..
JPennant:The Oz racing bodywork could flare out well too.
JPennant:but it would be SWEET wit that air suspension :-)
McClint: hehehe
JPennant:Bring Herbie, the Love Bug back to life. :-)
McClint: if ya ever go to bug shows, there is usually at least 1 old or new beetle setup like herbie... sometimes even one of the genuine vintage beetles used in the movies
JPennant:Yeah, but I was thinking of calling them "SUPER Beetles" :-)
McClint: gonna paint a bug red 'S' on the hood with a cape? heheh
JPennant:Heehee. Tempting. :-)
McClint: the only super i'd take would be a late model ('78 or '79) vert
JPennant:nah. no convertibles for me.
McClint: why not?
JPennant:I dunno why, I just prefer sunroofs.
JPennant:At most, a canvas sunroof.
JPennant:Heheh. Herbie and its evil twin.. the SuperBeetle!! (The Superbeetle would have working side pipes too.. heehee)
McClint: HAHAHA

VW's just make ya grin. :-)
