That's perdy cool!! I wonder if it's actually still aircooled? Top speed is probably around 40mph haha.

I saw a bug converted to a pickup a few years ago, right behind the drivers seat it was wacked off and a wood deck with sides about a foot high installed. Looked professional.

'82 Rabbit, I put on a euro vnt-15, 2.25" DP, 2.5" exhaust, the result.....it whistled.

I removed the turbo, made a toilet bowl 2.5" DP, the result....it was deafening. Now it has a homemade muffler up front and a thrush in the rear, the result.....less loud.

Is that a bug that backed into a trailer or a trailer that a bug drove through from the back?  40 seems a little high with the air flow dynamics that has going.

Nah,
Top Gear would have had the front and back parts of the car hanging off the trailer part of this one.  I think a Rabbit front end would have blended better. And it would have been Front wheel drive!
