Listen up folks,  9:00pm tonight (Wed)on The History Channel , A program called "Full Thottle' will feature the 1967 Beetle in all forms. Drag racing, tricked out etc,etc. might be interesting. =D>

It was worth a watch.  Some good vintage ad clips and funny moments watching the newbies try to figure out how to swap drivetrains(turn the trans. mounting bracket AROUND)  and screwing up the distributors.  The twins need to read up before they start spouting misinformation like "dual port heads in 1967".  There was a dual port in THAT particular car-it must be original, right? :roll:
Dig the cool dyno that bolted up to the rear axles!  Also interviews with Bruce Myers, etc.

I sure do hope someone captured this on video. I didn't get to see it. :cry:

I missed about the first 30 seconds, but I've got the rest of it on tape.  

O`Boy !!! I got a kick out of that program. I just love to watch" expert " Hot Rodders  with so much information at their finger tips managed to screw up so many times. Only in the land of fruits and nuts.
   Did you hear one of these clowns saying he wanted cut the rear apron out of the car so he could pull the engine and transmission together as a unit. Even if he was allowed to cut the apron out, I would have paid good money to watch them trying to get the 27mm tranny cradle bolts out and back in .
   In the last run down the strip, I belive one of the Bugs fried the engine if all the smoke was any indication.
  Some VolksFolks members may not all be master techs., but they are smarter than this bunch of "experts"
   I know that they were "newbies", but would you jump into engine swap on a Jaguar without at least looking at some kind info?
   I would be mortified if I ended up on TV showing my ignorance to the whole dang wagontrain.
