I've actually done competitive Rally driving in an OLDER VW owned by my Boss at the time. I think it broke about 4 crankshafts and eventually broke the chassis where the Motor is bolted on. It was NEVER rolled though which is quite remarkable as the Mass at the rear makes then GO from wild oversteer to rolling on the inside of the curve in a flash.. There was a saying at Newcastle Teacher's College at the time. "BUY a VW and ROLL your OWN".. They DO float in water. Nev

Well that makes up for it then.

It must have been some wild ride inside that "Sea-Bug", in that heavy sea!! (watch the 2nd YouTube clip). I'll wager they went through a few sick bags!!
