Re: Chopped And Sectioned VW Camper

Why?

My first thought too. I guess he must have seen the Beetle in HRM.

Re: Chopped And Sectioned VW Camper

Andy Saunders converted a 7ft 8ins high VW Camper into a 3.3ft high version - in just three days.

"Ok, midget kiddies, it's time to load out for school bus."

As far as the "WHY", because he had a VW, and wanted to chop it.

To me, just screams an over sized go cart?!?
I say covert it to haul around a bunch of beer coolers. Perfect pro-fairground vehicle.

Now David... come on... he did it cause he could... it's an Everest thing...

Not saying I like it or don't like it.... just that I'm fairly sure there was some pretty cool metal work going on in those 3 days and the engineering feet might have been interesting... I can respect that.

He´s done it before, this in 1985.

And this,

As to why,

So why did he do it? Andy himself picks up the tale. ‘Well, I hadn’t had the record for a while and thought it would be fun to get it back. Turning the whole build into a bit of automotive theatre seemed like a great idea. With everybody loving the raft of auto-makeover shows like ‘Pimp My Ride’ and American Chopper’ we felt that the team should do it live to an audience over a weekend. With some 33,000-odd people coming to have a look at the build.. I guess that was the right decision!’

Re: Chopped And Sectioned VW Camper

This has been going on for years...even on our own shores!

Example:



Dick Jesse's "Mr Unswitchable" Pontiac Funny Car. I have photos at home of Jesse driving this thing with his noggin sticking through the roof.

Not as ghastly as the van, but along the same lines.

This guy must like cars that you get bugs in your teeth while tooling down the highway.
