indeed, cus basically i want either a hot rod stylee yank mobile or a Golf G60, now, as the Karmann has the hotroddy styling and is still a VW, i think this representes a great compromise an thus justifies buying one. anyone got any ideas on costs?



p.s. i drive past an orange one with blue paint flames on it everyday on my way to work, its just parked outside a house, im gunna have to go speak to ze owner and attempt a purchase!
