How Low!!!!!

How low does one have to go???












And this was nice:







Andy

When I die, I want to go peacefully like my Grandfather did, in his sleep -- not screaming, like the passengers in his car.

No such thing as too low, not until it wont move!!!!

A work mate of mine had a camper with "how low can you go" written in the back window, and the number plates on hinges................................

vans a bit rusty, but that beetle would be well cool if it had adjustable air suspension

Get both of them much lower than that in the crusher at the scrappies .Save them causing big tailbacks in the surrounding area.



Flamesuit on and done up

Too low - what's the point of a car you can't drive - unless it's a Citroen.

Yeh OK I'll get my coat.

That split screen is v nice. I have one sat in my folks garage in Brum - a 65 fire engine von Deutschland. It hasn't moved in 5 years - but it's in a very dry heated garage.

I'm with you on this - the air cooled VW scene just leaves me colder than Mick McCold from Coldsville - I just don't get it.

Only worsened by VW's (and BMW's for that matter) w8nky attempt to extract more money from dribbling fashion junkies incapable of resisting

Sorry Donut - I don't like them high, low or any other way

I had an oval window beetle until I slipped (several times) with the angle grinder and it fell into a dozen pieces.

Same thing happened to my '73 1300.

Tragic

If I can scan a pic of my 1300, I'll post it, as it was quite low!!!

i test a few local beetles each year and the lowest one gets less than a thousand miles out of a pair of back tyres before the wires are hanging out of the inside edge
