Can you imagine the look on Fritz's face when he sees THAT in the rearview mirror of his Porsche?
It does have a "Volkswagon beetle" engine afterall! LOL
If it becomes popular over there.....I know of a certain HDT replica that would look good on the 'ring!

I think you will find that Borg Warner was established from German emigrants to the US after the war, and not a German company. Pretty sure they started in America.

"Rearview mirror"?
Imagine the jaw dropping action when the bloody thing passes his precious Porsche, "Was das Bumsen das war"

I could be wrong but I think I saw a programme on the German Motor industry where they were using Borg Warners pretty near exclusively but I cannot remember the name of the programme nor the the manufacturer involved. They showed an array of different B W's and commented on their different pro's and cons. Perhaps they do import them from the US.

It's not every day you read a thread like this one!
What became of this car (and Uwe)?
It's a great story. Hope it has a happy ending.

Sweet!
Pay close attention to the audio levels. At the start, the music was really a bit loud to distinguish your voice well.

Thanks Heath I thought I'd fixed that but maybe not as well as I thought.
