How can you EVER be a fan of torsion bars on the front of a car......NOTHING but trouble.

I ran Beetles for 20 years, and NEVER had the torsion springs fail. I won a special stage in an RAC sponsored rally driving one, albeit a minor rally, but still only open to those holding RAC rally licenses. I have a pic somewhere I'll try to find.

Brave but I bet bloody good fun

It certainly was. I had a brilliant navigator, who did all his calculations with a slide rule (we couldn't afford one of the new rally calculators) while being hurtled from side to side (previously in a Mk1 Consul), and in between lighting my cigarettes, (I know, don't ask ) he would vomit out of the window, and then carry on as normal. The guy was a legend. RIP Dave.
