Concept T, 2007 VW Producton BEACH BUGGY 4WD
In FHM June issue,
The New VW concept car based on the beach buggys of the 60's...
I Like It..
Not bad upgrade from my Subaru powered Manx..
'Smart' 4WD, 241hp V6,
they say top out at 230kmh (Now that would freakout a beach fisherman or two) and 0-100kmh in 6.9secs
Waddia think... Picture below...
I would have to keep the manx though, would be great to go back and reminiss and drive the real H/Made Beach Buggy..
Avagood one all of you..
PS.. I went up to Blacksmiths, Had a ball on the sand, got bogged a few times (Got to raise the beast a little I think) and just when we were going to
call it an arvo (@7:30pm) My starter motor Shat it self... Well the say first time out YOU WILL BREAK SOMTHING.... And I did..
A great bloke and local Steve towed me off the sand, A little to hard to cluch her on the sand..
Got back to Sydney a little cold and sandy but content we gave the beach a good hit..
And Yeah I need a bigger JACK..
Will be looking for some help on setting my spring plates for a little more hight..

Very nice, but I bet a Manx is cheaper, and would probably go just as hard off road too....
I think I'd be scared to take the concept car offroad, I can only imagine the sort of price tag they'd put on it! :jesus
