Who says you need 4 Webbers, Big Bores, Slicks, NOS, Turbo, etc... etc... in order to have fun.
I always prefer Good, Clean, Fun... How else can we do such a thing?
The purple bug has seen better glorious days... many competition has made attempts to hamper it... yet, it just keeps winning, finishing and surviving.
It seems to have some undying determined spirit of a champion and it seems to be born to race.
It won many races in 1999... with a mission.... to prove that a certain type of metal and oil treatment really works. It did!
It is now proving another thing.... that you can use water to run and even race your cars.... it did.
