Firstly how many of you nutters are going!

I am and im going with a guy from my work who has a beetle, we might be taking them down the strip.

Do i stand any chance at all?

I reckon you do have a chance, although I dont know much about beetles, correct me if im wrong, but I think that they are sluggish if unmodified as they are quite heavy vehicles.

what spec is your Mini and what spec is the Beetle? If its a Beetle of Inch Pincher proportions then I very much doubt you'll have a chance, however if its a standard 1300 then its very possible....

my mini is a standard 1275 cooper, and the beetle is a standard 1300.
