I just saw an Oval on that show 'Australias worst drivers'. Thank god that it was in front of the car that they had to reverse park behind!
Shouldn't things like that be illegal??

Yeah, saw it.

I first noticed that there was a veedub there, then from the rear view I saw the small rear window.

You're right Jak, that should be illegal.

I had a close look at it,
As close as you could on the show, and I thought maybe, especially given the whale tail and modded guards That the car was not actually a true oval bug, as I think that the side windows were big like late sixties big and perhaps someone welded the rear window and vents in from a dead oval bug.
did anyone else notice or think that?
