OK, might be showing my ignorance here,
what does Gulvalese mean.

Gulvalese.
The language spoken by the inhabitants of Gulval. A small Cornish village with a certain element of inbreeding. Hence the 6-toed jokes.
I'm sure that every county has its own Gulval,but you're welcome to share. They could do with some new genetic material.
Hope this helps!

I know that the 911 has beetle DNA and it was prehaps a good idea in the 1980's (when the covin would have been the same as the fake
ferrari's on MR2's available now) but now whats the point? a porker is only 10K or less.
here's an idea use the body shell and put a middy chassis under it with a V6 or V8 engine so it would go and handle.

I can never see the point in replicas that don't even come close to the performance / handling of the original.
Imagine, your sitting at the lights in your Porsche replica, and some kid pulls up in a Nova and he can out gun you. (Not that I condone traffic
light drags, but you know what I mean).
Same goes for Pinto powered Cobras, IMHO.
Much better to stick a porker engine in the boot of your beetle and give people a few surprises. Or a monster V8 in your Cortina, than a Cortina
engine in your Cobra.
All IMHO.

I agree, i always wanted to put a cosworth 2.9 v6 in a mk5 cortina and watch the faces of the boy racers as the "old car" leaves them in a
cloud of tire smoke (I'm an old boy racer at heart )

Tim covin did run a nice scaled down 55 chevy in the promodified drag class many moons ago, so the sale of all those crap kits obviously paid well!!!
