Never heard of the 6" (oo-er missus) SVA loophole before{-} {-}

Russ,

Nothing wrong with scimitars, it's the extra six inches (ooh errr missus) I though was a bit strange{-}

[tonym]

i assume the body is extended 6 inches so it fits directly onto the scimitar chassis. i believe if you're using an unmodified chassis then no sva is required which is why there are such a lot of kits that use a full beetle chassis:tu

Yes, I heard that GD's new Cobra replica will be based on a VW beetle floorpan with a 1200cc engine

But I'm sure that's just a rumour{-} {-} {-} {-} {-} {-}

Simon yes thats right, engine in the rear with a cocktail bar under the bonnet something like this Eric

[tonym]

strangely enough, i've checked the boot size of my sumo and i can easily fit in there an 11 gallon keg of carling, in-line cooler, beer taps, pipework and a portable generator!
christ, the lengths i'll go to to be popular{-}
