LOL I'm not sure why either. Here in Utah they act as UHP repellant.

That's actually what I was saying to myself
! I was soooo not wanting to have to go through that damn hole that it was kinda like a blur when I did - like when you're in a wreck and everything goes into slow motion.........it was really wierd once the engine got submerged and everything went quiet........by the time I came to my senses I was standing outside my truck trying to figure out how I was ever going to clean up this mess -

I would love to see your Volvo next to another more common vehicle for a better idea of scale. Just looking at the size of the steering wheel, I sorta get the impression that your rig is the coolest microbus on the planet
Thanks! It IS truely the coolest "micro bus" around! Well, it will be. Right now I have stripped it to the frame to do a total renovation. You can read more about it on my website: http://web.me.com/teddsoost/Fotovalpen_2.0/Home.html
Sorry no pics next to anything else.
She is 13ft long x 5,5ft wide x 7,5 ft high. 33" Goodyear tires on 16" rims.
High 2, high 4x4 and low 4x4. Top speed 65mph. Current engine is a Volvo B20 but I will be changing this to a VW 1,9 TD engine during the renovation.
I will also be changing from drum to discbrakes...
