VW Beetle Quaife gearbox test

[eetrapnoel]

Im sorry your brother is no longer with us. I attended the Bugorama's in Sacramento from 1990 to about 1995 This video IS a classic I remember watching this in the early 90's. The high and low deep sound of the throttle is like listening to classical music. This video will remain a staple in high performance VW's for a very long time. Thanks for keeping it alive.

dang thats awesome! i wish mine could do that.. Are you still running the stock chassis or do you have one of those racing chassis with the coilovers and whatnot?

[nigelsenchez]

How ironic that it says stop while he burns rubber.

[kaferdave]

Mike, There isn't a day goes by, that I don't think about Mark, and his Super Sh*t Box... he was SO amused when I called him, and told him I wanted to photograph the car for VW Trends, not a spoof, a real, color, 3 page spread...in fact, I was wearing my "In Memory of Mark Herbert" T shirt today...

[nhcs2k]

Just nice, it´s a great bug and a good driver. The last donut was gorgeous!

[AnimepimpYT]

rest in peace man

[smoofynoof]

Sick video, sick car. Rest in peace good man who I never knew. You clearly knew how to make a killer ride and have a hoot with it.

Mark Herbert was a VW gearhead out here in the Orange County area-- knew so much about cars and motors you could ask him pretty much anything and expect a detailed response... He was a really good friend, and we lost him on June 9, 2006 in a car crash... he is missed!

[nhcs2k]

@conradragzoff Rest in peace Mark!

[conradragzoff]

Mark, you will ALWAYS be missed and remembered. ALWAYS.

[alexthepalix]

who is mark herbert?

[TrevOwnz89]

God I wish my bug was that nice. You can hear it do a small burn out going into second... damn.

[fidelyo123]

is the quaife a 1 way LSD?

[longsought7]

Tint the windows, put wider rims on that bitch.

That's my brother Mark driving. He's no longer with us. Neither is that car. I have the original video. This is a classic video in the VW community, and it always will be. If you think it sounds like a Honda, your Honda needs some work. And your Honda ain't near as fast. Not that there's anything wrong with that. ;)

[242taliban]

to me it sound like it have a honda motor in it

[flat4playJon]

shows how much you know then doesn't it! :oP

[242taliban]

thats how it sound to me i ein tryna diss.

[flat4playJon]

:o) A tuned flat 4 motor is like music! One of my favourite sounds in the world!

[harleykeers1996]

my dad had a 1982 toyota pickup with a 4 cylinder putting of about 11.5 to 1 compresion the thing was down right nasty

[conradragzoff]

My friend for 4 years... I saw him the night before he died, we were just hanging out... I love this video, and I think of him every day, up in Heaven, racing Dale Earnhardt (and probably winning)... Rest Well, my good friend. You are still missed here.

[PkwVw]

mark herbert was given the quaife gearbox and they said mark...try to break....but it was so strong he couldnt

[fyschee]

Happy Birthday Mark

[vw3dragbug]

[dennikb]

The name of Mark Herbert will always be remembered. This guy was my main inspiration for builting my own 1967 old school retro racer. 8 years ago when i began planning what to do with my 67, i saw this video and i was sure that i had to be the long way and it took me 4 years to complete my project. It also took me about 2 years to design on everything on paper and in my mind. Many times i was thinking of quitting but each time i saw this video it gave me the power and courage to continue.

[PkwVw]

what a comment that shows that you are obviously really in love with volkswagens!

[batangboks]

Whoah! That was awesome!

[fyschee]

You are right, that was Mark Herbert

[darol79]

loved it!

[dubfan68]

volkswagens have always had strong street credibility this is a perfect example, unlike the rice burner crowd with there double tacs loud obnoxious exhaust systems and crap sound systems.volkswagens will live on forever
