sidewaysickness Posted September 19, 2016 Share Posted September 19, 2016 Good times! While we were hauling ass from Murchison to Hanmer in the pouring rain I noticed something that I thought looked fucking cool. I assume it's down to the giant fan kicking up water but she generates a V shaped rooster tail from the centre which doubles in volume as it hits the water getting flicked up by the tyres. I did want to try get a photo of it but driving kinda got in the way of that. I did enjoy the hoon after cruising most of the day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

64valiant Posted September 20, 2016 Author Share Posted September 20, 2016 for those un vw people. speedo goes off front wheen and in my case front wheel is extremely small so spins at a shit load faster than what the actual speed is. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tortron Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 i imagined it was actually doing about 45 but the needle was flailing wildly from side to side 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archetype Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 i imagined it was actually doing about 45 but the needle was flailing wildly from side to side I thought that also, or maybe Greg did a speed run while the VW was on jack stands.

63Ragtop Posted September 20, 2016 Share Posted September 20, 2016 nah, speedo runs off the front wheel, you must have still been moving, a bug will only do 70mph and if it's built like the factory did it should do that all day, them tiny carbs are the limit, will not over rev. maybe spun a bearing?
