Jagerbug @ European Bug In EBI 3
Unfortunately, the new engine didn't make the journey due to a few teething troubles. Instead, Team Jägerbug ditched the decklid and fan belt and smashed the quarter mile times set at Chimay last year. 15.02 oh so close to the 14 wanted before the big engine switch.
The car in front is a VW Beetle
For drivers who love being stuck behind an old VW Beetle on the road.
Camera car is an Alfa GTA
SCC gardermoen 2011
Heres a video from SSC-event (Scandinavian cal-look classic) that took place at Gardermoen Raceway late August this year. A lot of awesome beetles ripping up the dragstrip and some great restorations. And my favorite.... ratlook and burnouts.
Hope you like it, and if you do please share!
Mean Gene Cook Turbo Powered Street Legal VW Beetle Wheelie
This is the last pass on the old clutch set-up. You will hear the clutch go away as I shift in 2nd gear, 3rd gear, and then 4th where I just shut it down. New set-up for 2008. Cooker's V-Dubs, Clear Spring, Md.
