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. |

Unholy shit! That thing hit every ugly branch as it fell out of the ugly tree. Then it crash landed in the ugly swap and was pushed out by the ugly ogres who couldn’t stand to look at it.

could there be more than one of these? looking around the net there's two different cammo patterns and details plus three different licence plates. you've got to admire the level of detail and the 'vision' to turn a citroen pluriel into a schwimmwagen! do ya think it floats? 
badge on the back says - schwindelwagen

| Citroen made to look like a Schwimmwagen, feels like this would be illegal in France. Also look close, there's two of them. |

That builder did all that work. And didn't take care of the death foam rotting through the body.
Just be cause you can do something, doesn't mean you should do something!

Looks like it should have a huge additional amount of front luggage space between the passenger footwell bulkhead and the back of the gas tank ledge, though getting to it would strain your back with reaching in and pulling out the objects.
Can we consider this a true "back seat driver" car?  |
