I'll totally agree, and what was up with the two Tornado red 16V's, the
Black 16V, and the other Mk2's parked on the same street that didn't enter
the show. We probably would have had well over 40 entrants if they would
have joined us. Anyone on the list?

Yeah, that was me, Mr. "leave racing on the track".
Boy did I feel like a total dumbass. I actually thought I could stop even
with the SP8K's.
If anyone wanted proof of how strong the Revolution RFX's are......
My toe/camber is slightly off I think but the Bilsteins held up. I
thoroughly checked out the suspension and nothing got bent and all is tight,
phew!. 8)
The lower 16V bar probably saved me from further damage.
Oh yeah, I think the AVS's would have kept me from jumping the curb. 8P

He he he, I got 34-36 MPG when I went to LA to pick up my R1's in my 1847 8V
:p
I averaged about 80mph

I think the same thing everytime I wash mine as well, must be a Scirocco
thang. 8)

For all those that made it to the show,  You guys(gals) rock.
For all those that didn't,  we missed having you there but there's alway's
next year.
Thanks to Tim Hildebrandt and the New Dimensions staff for putting on such a
great show.
