This SA buggy by
http://www.streetstufffibre.co.za/Index.htm is quite a discussion point on international forums at the moment. Personally I think they are heading in the right direction, perhaps not quite there yet. Should be interesting to see if this goes into production...
The side mirrors are a HUGE no-no!

It kinda makes sense that if you want to develop a buggy for the 21st century, make provision for a radiator because all the air cooled engines in the world now belong to Bugger!

I like it, especially the fact that the bonnet can open. Don't like the mirror location, but if it is a kit, not really a issue.

Is that a curved beetle windscreen? If so, how many of those are there around still, or are they made up for the buggy?

Change the mirrors to something decent and I will give it the thumbs up. Good to see the culture is still strong.

I like it
But with those mirrors you'd expect it to go "beep, beep, beep" when reversing the buggy!

I like it a lot. It's got an aggressive stance. Thumbs up from me.
