this car definitely took some getting used to, but when the boss offers you a chance to drive a car you might never see again, you say yes. And dig out your gopro if you’ve got time.
Anyone driven a more fully sorted one? Or maybe another weird not-a-beetle sports car?

Back in the day when air cooled beetles were common in the USA there where literally 100s of companies making kit cars for them. The Bricklin SV-1 is one of the more famous examples.
It was a unique time as the same sort of thing really isn’t possible with today’s cars.
