July 17, 2009

Was trawling the net the other day and came accross this.

Quite possibly the coolest dad in the world, Kristian From finland built a scaled down Beetle for his son to compete in soapbox derbys etc. Im just amazed that he managed to keep all the proprtions right when hacking so much out of the car. Seeing as im not so good at typing I will let the pics do the talking.
