Could not take the bug because of its overheating issue, which I believe I have solved, so we ended up taking Dad's '84 Carrera Cabriolet. Had a blast, but lost one of my magnetic numbers from the 2003 Rally. Apparently those things are no good over 110 mph, hmm. Some very cool cars, a '62 Lotus 7(Incredible how fast a Ford Cortina/Pinto motor can be in a 1100 lb car), a 68 Fiat something or other with a 500cc flat twin A/C motor, and the coolest, a '69 Honda S800. It was a little tiny hatchback with a DOHC 800 cc 4 cylinder. Guy told me it was a homologation special, with the motor based on the F1 motor of the era. Had a blast, but could not outrun the Lotus, even in a Porsche, will post pics later.
