I've seen this Buggy at the back of the VDUB magazine.

Those widened Golf VR6 rims at the rear look awesome!

Nice one Charged :wink:
If it's too low, you're too old :twisted:

I've been for a ride in that one...
scared the crap out of me - no seatbelt, couldnt help but think "this is the end". Great ride, quick as hell.
I still think the gears are too short, but I dont drag race, so I look at things differently.

Looks great. Goes great.
