Oh dear :cry:  I doubt that would that have happened if the muppet just drove the thing rather than showing off.  Fancy revving the nuts off it stationary, what a knob!!! anyone know if it actually got driven before this, i imagine it was quite a beast (even with those extra doors and a dik behind the wheel)

hmm, did you read the link as well? this is a major SA tuning company who have built an awesome twin engine mk1, much like dubsport did over here. it's on the rollers at an open day at their own business unit. it's a 5 door because you can still buy a mk1 5 door bodystyle in SA. it was also used in hill climb events over there  :rolleyes:
