I like that better than the scooter. Is the engine to scale? Now how to shift it and fuel tank. I guess it could be built into the fender |

| I would think that gear reduction chain drive, and the tiny rear wheels would limit that cart's theoretical top speed significantly. It would still probably be scary as hell though. |

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. |
