- from before we set off, to the *huge* queue -
- which we now routinely skip by arriving at about seven in the morning -
- and they were still running the jet funny car back then -
- even managed to grab a shot of it zooming past(!) albeit blurrily (but then it is going over 220mph)...
Anyway, this was the famous year that Flyingpops took her life in her hands and actually ran the strip in her 1303S during the "Run What You Brung" (under full race conditions) -
- getting an about average time for the class of vehicle (and an excellent reaction time) -
- I must admit, I thought she was nuts...your insurance is void during the race...and as we were in the queue I was examining some of the other runners, even the door handles had been bored out to reduce weight, and Flyingpops' Bug still had all our camping stuff in the boot! Hehe... ;)

Don't forget, I also had on my festival hat to 'look good'......Oh those were the days....
It was such an adrenaline rush, I would love to do it again, but sadly I don't think Colin would like it too much :)
I hope who ever has the pleasure of driving your old beetle has as much fun in it as you had...perhaps one day you will meet again at one of the vw festivals...I will never forget how excited you were when you first drove it home x
Finaly found a photo of me dressed up as rupert da bear..
Thanks
