Subject: RE: BS: Your Best Old Volkswagen Story...
Der Fliedermause Rie (don't look it up in translation because I did and Google tells me it ain't even close... maybe Rap can sort it).

Bro had it shipped back from a stint in Germany when he was there with the RCAF. Man... I was about 14. He pulled into the driveway and I had never seen anything like "The Red Bat"! Pimped out is what it would be today. Porche engine dropped in (GOOD storiesss about Germans on the Audubon flagging him d own to ask how it could hit 115mph). Abarth mufflers. Radial tires... huh? WTF is a radial tire? An infrared map reading light out of CF 104 Starfighter Supersonic Interceptor (NEVER intended to carry nuclear weapons and every Canuck will stand by that bullshit). He took me for a spin around town. Fuuuuuck he could drive! Scared the crap outta me!
