The KidVrod

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.

The third chapter in the Vero Vintage Car Rally saga entails me standing out in the rain taking photo’s of several cars as they left their Gala Street meeting point before heading off on their country-side tour.  I’m not a professional photographer (quite obviously) and none of these photos have been changed except to add the retro-classics watermark.
