VW Beetle Quaife gearbox test

Still my favourite VW burnout / donut video EVER!
I've had it for years after downloading it from Ocean Street Video. I 'think' the driver was non other than the late Mark Herbert but I'm not certain.

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. ;)

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.

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?

How ironic that it says stop while he burns rubber.

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...
