	Some of you who were around many years ago on here may well remember the Sambasaurus, Official Retro Rides Support Bus at early events in 2004/5 etc. Earliest reference I can find to it on RR is here: retrorides.proboards.com/thread/927/retro-rides-com-support-bus Well after a few (seven) years in hiding it's back out and back racing in the VWDRC, first time out was at the Summer Nationals this weekend just gone. Sambasaurus - 1965 VW Type 2 Split Screen 21 Window Samba Deluxe - photo by Retro-Motoring Most expensive bed I've ever slept in, or am likely to..! Full gallery of pics is here: www.retro-motoring.com/events/SummerNationals-2015/index.php?page=0 An absolutely cracking weekend, had such a good time. Not even the rain on Sunday morning could wipe the grin off! I'll post up some highlights.

	Pretty much the reason I've had no time to crack on with my cars. I'm crewing for Kyle this year, he loves this shot. I dunno if he took any build photo's, but he bought the car at an event last year for £400, bought my VR6 for £300, sold what he didn't use off my VR and used the rest to make this car. Still very much in development, total cost so far, removing the cost of parts sold, and including his costs to move cars around, is less than £600. Shows anyone can get into racing..

	Good to see Sambasaurus back in action! Amazed to see 'No More Mr Nice Guy' looking almost exactly as it did as a poster on my bedroom wall!

That belongs to James Hodson, it was at one point (I think?) the fastest FWD car in Europe. It's still mighty rapid, easy ten second quarter miles
