Postby Patrick » 16 Sun Jul, 2006 7:24 pm

Not sure but it looks like a front end of a car but no it's a dune buggy..

I am not going to say that it is ugly, but I do not care for it!

Well I second the thing you said. I still can't see that being called a Dune Buggy though... It just looks like a car in more ways than one.

OK, call me wierd, but I think that if the front bumper wasn't there, this would look pretty good. It, to me really needs to be a different color and the top should be white!
If at first you don't succeed, beat the pshaw out of the business partner, and then go at it alone! LOL!

In the rear photo of the Buggy/Car thingy. To the left of the back window there is an indention tear drop thing. What's that inside of it? Water fountain, Ball hitch, Antenna, gas spout? Strange to have something in there like that. I guess that window flips up in the back too.

I guess it would be a buggy if the engine and suspension/pan are from a VW..

Well, going to my previous post, what else do you call a vehicle that has a VW pan, VW suspension, and VW engine and transmission, with a fiberglass body replacing the Type 1 body? A buggy.. I always thought the first 3 letters of Buggy, BUG, was to say/show it was from a Type 1, bug, buggy? hmmm?

Hm.. can it be in the category of just 'kit car'? Like the Kellision's, etc.?















But yeah, it's not my style. :lol:

You'll be the envy of the neighborhood, even though they won't let you drive your cars down the streets for fear of devaluing house values in the neighborhood.
