Yelojkt's borla exhaust. I bought this exhaust off the Borla website, it is 2.25" stainless steel (unpolished). The mounting points on the exhaust are all 1/2" ss rod, TIG welded. If you know who Borla made this cat-back system for please let me know. I like the quality of the system and would like to buy a downpipe from the same company at a later date.

Hey that is a great pic of the beetle. I was so excited that all 4 of the VW's from Wichita placed at Tulsa. Hey Yelojkt... where did you find your front clip? I think I am going to change the front and rear on Phoebe. Then it's on to engine work.... 2.0 TURBO!!!!!!!:bowdown:

Here is a cool shot of Yelojkt when he was first introduced to the guys and gals of Team Foolie. This picture was shot by the club photographer. He really has an eye for photography. This was on the roof of a parking garage were we GTG on the last Sunday of the month. He snaped a few shots and then climbed up on the wall to get this shot. I likes it.:)

I love this sticker but could not think where to put it. It just came to me at the Tulsa show.
On the back of the passenger visor (remove the VW warning sticker 1st)...

This shot was taken in Tulsa at about 7:45am on Labor day when the downtown area was deserted. Sunday mornings are also good for city shots. Early mornings are best. You should be in your shooting location just as the sun breaks the horizon.

For the new guys and those who have forgotten, just shortly after the first photo Yelojkt hit a deer at 70. My brother who has been driving an automatic for years was driving. I remember him saying "the brakes don't work" and me saying "thats the clutch" and then a milisecond later it was over. Hey at least he did not swerve to miss it.
