My heart goes out to all those caught up in this. The tragedy continues on these shores https://www.google.co.uk/amp/www.bbc.co.uk/news/amp/40269625

I know this comes up with reasonable regularity, in fact I even started a relevant thread myself HERE a couple of years ago ..... BUT...... the latest issue of VolksWorld has got me twitching again :lol: I note in the 'Staff Cars' pages one of the staffers suffered a catastrophic failure whilst...

I've just been to see this Marathon Beetle to sort rear shocks...fuck me it's radical but at the same time cool as :) This is static, but modified somewhat ;) A few of you might know it. I think once the Marathon wheels are banded to 8" running stretched 165s with reversed centres to gain...

Not the usual air beam. Single bag, single shock, at oposite ends!

after passing my test quite a few years ago now, i used to drive beetle's daily, and didn't think twice about driving them everywhere and in all weathers! then i got a mk2 gti a couple of years after, then carried on driving various mk2's up untill last week, till i got my 64 on the road! i...

So how narrow is your beam? Post up some photos too! Lets see how rad your creation can be...

had a thread moved from cal look forum to vehicles wanted - i know it was a wanted ad but thought as it was so specific that may be a better place to post it? not complaining - just wondering if that was the reason and if so is there any chance of it going back?

* I may have put too much on :lol: :crazy: *dangerous modifications :moon:

Hi, in the process of registering my split, phoned the insurers (admiral) and they say they wont insure me unless it has individual vehicle approval which involves a test. i was under the impression that all i needed was an mot now and i could register it. Are they talking bollocks?

keep seeing people saying shockless beams whats it all about without sounding silly

Ok, I sell new adapted cars as my job and have done for some time. Although I've heard of this conversion I'd never seen one in the flesh until I was offered this yesterday. Based on a Peugeot 807 and costing £30,000 new, it is a now discontinued conversion which includes a mechanism to lift...

I fully expect this to be locked but thought I'd simply ask whether they should remain or not. .

Fuck me I swear losing weight is all they talk about all fucking day!!!!!!! Quiet at lunch though when one went out on the Office Fast Food Friday McDonalds/KFC run :o

I now have a whole new level of respect for Peter Sissons:

I've seen this lil' gem around my village for the last couple of years but never managed to get a photo until recently... it's special huh? ;) So let's see your photos of similar creations :D .

Sorry, i did a search but couldn't find what i'm looking for, i'm sure it's probably been covered thousands of times on here. As the title says, am i right in thinking you should not have wheels that stick out from the arches? I know 'rat rods' have no arches, how do they get away with it...

you got to love this

At a reasonable price? My tyres are rubbing :( You could even do it here at my house, I have a welder (MIG and ARC), grinder tape measure and vice. I'm in Cheshire CW7.

Just been looking at Mays issue, now don't get me wrong, I like lowered cars. But is the split not taking it a bit far? 7 mm of ground clearance, running 135's, so about 3 inches of sidewall. One blow out/flat on the front and its running on the front beam. Two and it's got no steering.
