Not a VW But, Its Air Cooled
« on: November 16, 2009, 08:17:47 pm »
I know this is not a vw**  But it is Air Cooled
I just picked up a 1986 Cushman Vanster  P#3 for Cold Weather Driving :icon_cheers: and Flying My R/C Airplanes :icon_cheers:

  The cool thing about the Vanster is It's 12V BO** and has Heat #campfire@ (love and A radio  P#3
It's a little bit shorter and thinner than the Buggy. The only Problem  40mph is it's top Speed
and Turning at that speed might cause a problem. LAUGH@

Na, but I'd bet if you lowered it and put some sticky tires on it you could get it to handle much better. A few more beans might make a fun driver out of it. Forget autocross but I'd bet it wouldn't be hard to make it more user friendly on the road. Hey check out you tube and do a search for the guy who stuffed a "Busa" engine in a smart car!
