and don't forget the beetles

Shite it's been done before!!!! LOL

Nah, I've seen them in mags, only kidding.

But the card is very cute🙂

Also scored a couple of rubbery yellow beetles that ATA (Automotive Training Australia) put out as a promotional thing. The used beetles because they thought they are the most loveable/likable car basically (from an insider)

That skinny beetle isn't real, the pic looks distorted (????):o

The beetle is real.
I've seen a site with the build up (or build down) pics.

There is also one that has been widened by 30cm

jenz58 · 14 Jun 2003, 5:38 pm

I'd like to see that🙂😎

What do they do to get it so skinny, axles etc?

Wheel-stander Kombis luv em. The skinny beetle does look a little weird.

FYI, the ThinBug was made by a friend of mine in San Pablo, California. He also made a Limo that was a lot more popular. As for why he did it.....?

pyr0 · 15 Jun 2003, 2:51 pm

The skinny bug should be called a mosquito... it just looks totally wrong!
