And I was wrong about the initial mileage, too. The original Type 3 whistled up 28, it got 29.9 with a chassis tune.

Hey, CR: my favorite VW-based sports car: the Puma.


Not the convertible, though. The proportions get weird in a hurry.
Is that a Brazilian fiberglass kit car? I was in Rio about 35 years ago, saw one, and loved it. Made inquiries about importing it to the US. Is it a VW based design? Anybody import kits or make them here?
