Kugelwagen: VW Thing but better engineering...

[GHR]

A Canadian firm that produces a reproduction of the German Pre-WWII Jeep. Article below. Also a link to firms web site. Appears to be a small engine, RWD only with 11 inches of clearance.

I'll pass. Maybe if it were a rethought Kubelwagen, think 1/2 VW Thing mixed with 1/2 Polaris Rzr; that might be fun but driving around in cramped old VW in an itchy wool uniform and a peaked cap, reminiscing on the '40's isn't for me.

I think its cool. I'd have to have a lot of spare money to actually buy one, but it would be a fun summertime run-about!

I only paid $4k for my Thing. I think I could do allot of upgrades for $46k.

Looks fun but too expensive. More driveble than a real WWII version

The front sway bar wouldn't last too long.
