I know Jonathan, it made me think too. He could be about 70 years of age now so that photo spans a lifetime of one little Sicilian boy.

Mike

Wide fives, nice... Beetle floorpan or 356 drum swap all round?

Just put my glasses on... 130 to 205 adaptors!
No - that's just wrong. Surely a backwards step? Re-drilled hubs with widened 5 x 130 steels is the way to go.

I originally thought hat but I believe it's a Scandinavian rallycrosser, rather than GG's one.
