The European Bug-In crew asked me if they could use could use my doca for the Miss BUG IN contest...

with the prospect of some nice looking women up, in and around my doca I could not resist

Offcourse, I have some work to do first since the doca is not really a mechanical sound car, nor an esthetical pleasing one Sad

I started this project the first week in feb 07
