on another forum, a member is posting up some pics of his ride through mexico.

here's a pic of a food market stall. check the background. haha.

event though the've stopped maing them they stil must be pretty common.

one question though. going on the quality of mexican bits i have bought for my buggy, i'm very surprised that if you made a whole beetle out of them they would actually drive.

Reminds me of my visit to Mexico. First thing I was told was not to buy food from roadside sellers. First thing I did was get a scalding hot ring burner chili dish from a street seller.

No Mexico City tummy but was wondering why the "bowl" was a wierd shape while I was tucking into the chili. When I finished I tuned the "bowl" over to discover it was the lethery shell from the armadillo I had apparently just eaten.

Yeah, I would have thought they'd fall apart while being put together.

Maybe they keep the good bits for themselves and send the crap to us sucker Aussies.

Seems like every photo taken in Mexico is a "Spot the Beetle" photo.
