One of the requirements when doing our stretch was the ground clearance which was to be 100mm per 3500mm of wheelbase. This left us with a clearance requirement of 125mm. Looking at the length of the beetle it should be about 200mm off the ground?????
Also it would have to have major upgrading of axle bearings, rims and brakes for the extra weight requirements of all passengers????

That's my technical point of view anyway. Otherwise I like people daring to be different.

Yeah, it would a bloody challenge to build alright.

And u would have to make sure u keep the stretch really strong so it doesn't sag in the middle. ha ha lol. That would be an interesting sight.:P

This is a photoshop fake ... Look at the shadows from the pillars inside the car..
If this were a real car it would be bent like a banana laying sideways.. You can even see where they messed up the shadow on the ground about half way along the car..
:repuke










A simple squish of the car shows where it started which is made more evident by the dark section of shadow across the doors which I have highlighted in yellow... I didn't bother lining it up perfect but you get the idea...

Spammers....:puke
You'll notice on the faux stretched one, that area looks patchy through the middle and no limo builder would send a car out of the workshop with centre windows looking like a hole cut in the side of the car with no trim around it...
