Beetle platform I take it ?

A different approach from the more classic looking buggies - Not too sure I'm a big fan, but a wheelie picture would be awesome !...

hey look...proper lights and all! you get something like that over here, and often as not, there aren't even any headlights (the Amish, where they're required to have lights, use this kind of setup). course, these guys tend to use kits for nothing but running around on a flat boulevard or head to car shows for a cheap trophy...

It is an aircooled Transporter mill, or a water-cooled engine?

I like that it's not a complete Meyers Manx knockoff. In fact, it's a bit Lotus-7-ish.

 

[dennisw]

it is watercooled
and it has a 4 speed transmission
