| I searched everywhere for a deep version on the saab wheel and can not find one but that is what it looks like to me. what ever is on the picnic table doesn't look like a 5 on 205 wheel like vw's. It looks like the 5 on 170 like the early saabs or 5 on 165 like an early land rover. |

Looks a little like some 80's American stuff that was trying to be 80's Euro stuff. But it looks almost exactly like the Saab product only with a different width/offset.

Everett posted this one in the Bus whine section, I thought it should be posted here too. It is for sale on Ebay right now as well out of Brazil.

Hopefully that 40,000 asking price is in Brazilian Real, which comes out to about $12,000. Still overpriced... |

| So if the air ride fails on this narrowbus, then the front wheels will stop the doors opening and you will have to live in there till you have starved enough to climb through the sliding window? In my case that would take several years. |

Some think that if your beetle has a padded dash, it's an engine donor. Some think that if it has push button door handles, it's a boat anchor.
Do what you want. Ignore the elitists. Drive your VW. Enjoy life. |

I don't think the front doors open?

I'm sure that the person who engineered that car included an emergency gear extension system like that on an airplane. Yeah, that's it.
Don't worry about having to lose weight to crawl out of the window. You will die of thirst long before that! |

OK, so as I understand it, this man was born inside this bus in 1960 and was passed clothes, food and water through the sliding window till he was fully grown.
I would of thought he would look a little more withered due to a lack of exercise and a lot less happy than he is.
I also assume that for the 40K asking price, you get him as well, or a tin opener. |

I wouldn't want him, that sounds like a burden... If he was born inside there and grew up, he probably has no marketable skills and almost no value to society.
Get him out of there and into some sort of adult training program.

I don't know, he can drive a stick Everett. Or possibly train him to work in a Drive Thru as he's used to the sliding window. Once he's been cut free of course. |

He is qualified for that!
40 years of experience, that's probably 39.99 more years than most fast food people.

A couple I found while browsing thru Kijiji
This one is advertised as a hunting wagon
And this one is a "street rail."

Very few of these make me laugh out loud, this one is one of those. |
