Does anybody else here think this is a pointless waste?

I'd prefer Jamie Olivers VW thanks.

You gotta respect someone who stuffs a blown V8 into anything. Especially if their prepared to give it a run.

Yes, but there is also one in outback Queensland, but it doesn't have a magnificent bitumen race circuit and it also has a far larger population

That's a traditional 60's Volkswagon accessory ... much sought after this day and age. I've even seen them as options in "new" Beetles. Cool!

That looks like it is set up for a speed run, could it be for the 130 & 150 MPH Club at Utah Salt Flats in the States?

Have a look at this; View the Burklands 450+MPH Pass hear the V8 & the gear change.
