vw open 2010 - kiikala

ok, sorry bout the bad pictures, but i had my kid with me, no video camera, no rothmans panel van and there was plenty of friends there, so i have only couple of shots to show you what kind of cars you can find in this "vw-happening"...

there was a hemi challenger, loads of vettes, some pretty hairy european turbo cars like 10 sec old ford escorts, a Nissan GT-R, a monster turbo AUDI from estonia (with bigger than a jumbojet turbo) and plenty of bugs...but what was really strange, that the "names" of the finnish vw scene didnt show up in the line-up. maybe this wasn´t the best year for the fast vw´s?

OK, heeba had his bug at dyno in friday with 202 hp, and j. kemppi had 211 hp in his atmo-bug...my 3 year old boy slept pretty well even we were located allmost in the starting line... ;-)

daddys boy - the sweeeeet calming sound of the race engines...

...The slugs were there with the motorhome - but not with the race-cars... :-(

i had a tight time schedual, so i had to go at 14:45, well the exact same time when THOR the god of THUNDER wanted to have his show, its 17:37 now and the sky is loaded with lightnings, and a great thunder it sure is... after driving couple of minutes from the airfield, a huge rain started...and i mean - huge rain! check out the pictures....

my old cars... vol.666 the Hebmuller Coupé

KARMANN GHIA 61 ...no cuts no glory

to fit the kawell turbo set up, i had to cut the karmann ghia a bit.
not that much, but a small snip snap from the back.
looking great.

another route would be to swap for the 912 engine.
it would be really cool looking in the engine bay, but not the hot ticket in the strip. the 912 engine is for sale now.

parking in bulevardi street

i´m speechless

cow-g in black

Mika has been busy, the body is now deep black, and it sure looks good!
i will get the body to the garage later this week, (got to take some better picks)

BADkarma2

After the paint, the ghia is heading to kangasniemi, with the engine and hopefully with the kawell turbo-setup, the " sketch " is a bright black low KG, with a new interior, ercos with a 2,3 liter turbo-engine. show & GO!
if everything goes well, its happening "next year" (slug´s trademark) ;-)
