Welcome To The Madness, (Julie, right?)! If you're looking at VW based Speedsters, it's really just a re-bodied bug- (with hopefully a few improvements, of course!). Ask anything you want- we are a pretty friendly bunch. Al

That's pretty much why we all own replicas, Julie- the wallet size necessary for a real Speedster and the fact that said real ones are too valuable to be driven...
