Hi list, I am really pleased about the results at a local VW show this weekend. I won second in the Type 3 class out of 3 cars (2 Fastbacks, 1 Notchback). The one that won first prize was immaculate, it had only had 2 owners, and the present owner had bought it in 73 (it was a 71' Fastback). It was really good to compare such an original car with my own one to see what incorrect parts etc. were on mine. I also got a look at his distributor (the correct one) so I know what to look for, for my one now. I also bought some mag wheels to go on my Type 3, they were made specially for the Type 3 with the correct offset etc. The first prize winner car had them on, and when I made a comment about them someone else said they had a set for sale. They are a 4.5" rim with about 12 or so square cut outs around the edge of the rim- I have forgotten what they were called now. Apart from that there was about 100 Beetles and 50 or so Type 2's and a handful of Ghia's and some other VW based cars. Also there was quite a big showing of watercooled cars, about 10 or so in total.
