My account is pending approval. Paul, if you want to divvy up some archiving duties let me know what section to grab. 

Spent all day Saturday a couple weeks ago in Bridget, a VW-based car with what I think is a 1500cc, and I know is a single-port, single carb, 1966-case engine. 50 horses, in other words–about the minimum you’ll be getting in a TD Replica. We did 70-75 mph easily  ’round the Baltimore Beltway and onto I-795 without incident. Drove 100 miles to…[Read more]

Post lots of pics–here and in the new forum, should we need it. I’m very intrigued by this car.

Club looks pretty thin. This one looks better.–update–that “better” second link above is no good, but it’s supposed to point to Troy’s site (below)http://bradleygt.proboards.com/index.cgi

Week or two ago someone listed a decent looking VW-based replica on Craigslist here for $3500. Bridget cost me $3500 last year right about this time. SHe’s totally worth way more now though

sounds like a find.

Rear quarter windows also add a touch of visibility when cruising in the rain. It happens.

The BCW front engine car was a Chevette based, I think. The hood hinged in the middle but the side piece of the hood stayed put–they weren’t hinged to the top pieces as in the original TD. More like a TF design.

wow. AC too? Very nice job on that dash.

Thanks, guys. I’ll post on the Samba & see if I can get the earlier outer housing only. + maybe the turn signal. That’s what I’m hoping for.

I get the same thing. The message posts tho, every time. 

Amen to that too, Dale.I am pondering the logistics of a time-speed-distance rally in/around western MD. Maybe open to Speedsters & TDs, or maybe “run what ya brung.”

Allen,
I tried to get that set up last year if you look back at my post on Carlisle, but it did not work out – not enough time or everyone got there to late or something. Anyway – if more of you guys come I don’t see why it can’t be done.
Good video Ed – fun day for all – Glad Karen enjoyed it and told my wife she missed a good time – hopefully…[Read more]

Amen to that, Larry.

Nice. I like the padded dash.

Might want to update the VA map to include Mr. Schu too.

Get the adjustable beam.The lowering spindles might be enough to get the ride height correct with the stock, unmodified beam. BUTThe torsion springs inside that beam were built to handle a front end weighing 800-1000 lbs.Our cars, being fiberglass, and having had the “front seat” moved effectively to the “back seat,” have more like 500-600lbs over…[Read more]

You might be able to post them. The “tree-uparrow” button on the far right hand side of the top row above the “Post Reply” window that opens when you reply to any post here will open a box with instructions titled “image upload.” click “browse” and go to the picture on your computer, click that and it should load to the site.The caveat: it has to…[Read more]

Thanks, Paul. Bridget has the same issue. Tach pulses when the signal lights are flashing or when I hit the brakes… I’ll redo it all this winter. Today the instrument lights went out. Interesting trip back from Dr. Clock’s Speedster (etc.) Pumpkin Run.The good news? 1. amazing weather2. Brakes work3. No mishaps4. holy crap! Bridget is a full 20…[Read more]

Wow. Will, you got it bad! I sympathize. Maybe empathize…
