outstanding!!

i've been following the thread on thesamba.com and being a big fan of type I's...i gotta say it's pretty damn cool that this has happened! it's not just another car...it's something special that we may never get a chance to see happen again for a long time (if ever).

Wow, this is so very cool. I knew nothing about this. I just spent the last two and a half hours going through the thread on the Samba. Very cool. Thanks for posting this Geoff.
