Beetle on a ramp
This weekend went to a 4WD shop here in Perth for a ramp day.
What people do is drive there 4wds up a ramp to test the flex in there suspension and see what they can improve.
One fella rocked up in his beetle cause his 4wd was off the road, but i guess he didnt want to be excluded from all the fun.
Heres some pictures!!
       
These other pictures are what its ment to look like.

Big biccies alright...I used to play with 4wd rigs and it cost about 15k for a full A FRAME pivoting suspension similar to whats used in CODS. So yes
it can cost around $40k for a flashy suspension setup. Really depends how far you want to go... Loads of fun offroad

Good to see that the beetle can drive up the ramp with no camber change in the wheel, that's superior suspension design if you ask me.
If you said I was a Volkswagen man, you'd be right.

Lucky it wasn't a swing axle or it would have fallen over!
Remember. If you don’t keep playing with it, it won’t work when you want it to.
