    That is neat, I would like a closer look. I wonder if its powered by a VW bug motor? That big door in the back suggests it is.

    It is definitely small.

    thanks

    Looked on the net, there are several:

    It was called the Super Bugger:

    And here I was thinking some engineer who had a garage and not really liking his wife hid out there and built that!

    The truck hauling it took off before I could get over to it, he was fueling and I thought I had time but he backed out and left. Cool looking little thingamabob!

    Not my style.

    Couldn't stand a closet for a camper nor a low power vw to power it. Heck, that thing would go backwards in a 40 MPH head wind like is common in the great plains states.

    [:D][:D][:D]


    AND it's probably having to hitch hike a ride over that mountain.

    Thanks for the link James. I was pretty sure I wanted one of those, but now that I know they are for rich folks I?m starting to rethink it. Some of them things cost more than my house. [:D]
