Explain us foreigners: Dak Dak!

It's an Australianism for the VW flat-four motor cars, due to the sound of their uneven firing. What @VicarWhiskey may not know is what these things are worth now. There is a business near me that restores them starting from around £30k on top of the price of the base car. They also do early air-cooled Porsches and, regretably, build plastic 356 replicas on innocent Beetle chassis.

I use these as background for my WRUW pictures a lot because they are on my office wall. Guess what brand I work for?

Better?............I duuno that one could be distinguished as being better than the other, both are an awful cacophony of audibly offensive mind numbing racquet, yes they are recognisably different. However it's like trying to compare the merits of vomit to diarrhea......both are nauseatingly unpleasant to encounter either 1st or 2nd hand!

Yeah, if the car was in bad shape, for a time it was probably cheaper and better to do some fun resto-modding than to spend the money to fully restore. We're seeing that with early Datsun Zs now for instance. But nowadays, for a lovely early Corvette, I am not a fan

For real! I follow them on Instagram and they got it figured out for sure.
I think its awesome getting the kids involved like that. That's the future of their sport!
