That is awesome, there must be a real good version out there somewhere, bound to be the life project of a VW enthusiast?

Judging by the way the standard ones handle I bet you would drive that and not notice it has two flat tyres.

How does the gear linkage work ? The standard ones had some sort of rubber band on wet spagetti set-up to ensure you could never find a gear. Add another 10 feet to the van and I bet you need somebody in the back to change gears.

Maybe it has a sticker in the back window : 'If this van is arockin' your daughter is in the back trying to find second gear'

For the first six weeks I drove a combi I thought they had some sort of infinite gear ratio system or something. I certainly never found the same gear twice.

Where is that ROFLMFAO icon !!
Don't forget to mention the self-igniting battery under the back seat in the old Beetles. No car should be without one.

probably still better then the pile of ** Ford Astro Van parked behind. Once owned one of them for a 9 month US trip. Not even the Chinese could build such a bad product.
