G'day Challengers
I wanted to pass on the following Facebook link for you to check out and hopefully place on your "watch" list. The car shown is a very historic 36hp engine powered 1955 Volkswagen bug that has been driven "around the world" on three different documented occasions and will be driven from northeast Canada to Bonneville this year to race in the 36hp Challenge at the USFRA's World of Speed. The man behind this challenge is Emmanuel "Manu" Thuillier along with a lot of supporting friends and family.
Follow Manu and his progress with the construction of the engine and his journey west. The link can be found here:

Enjoy the Spirit of the Competition as Manu and crew will be doing this September.
May the Speed be with you..............................
