BASIC DESCRIPTION

Essentially my fifth scratch-built project, although it is basically a modified version of the stock 1972 Volkswagen Bus. This version has: big tires mounted on what is probably the world's widest set of Fuchs alloys; modeled suspension and exhaust components; a bar on the roof with four KC driving lights mounted on it; three all-new color schemes; and of course, the requisite bouncy tuning!

FOOTNOTES

- I have deliberately tuned the bus to be moderately fast. This makes it much more fun to go flying through the hills of San Francisco!
- The handling can be twitchy at higher speeds, it might take some getting used to (but it makes for some amazing-looking wrecks)
