Now don't go laghing too loud ---
I have seen a picture of a Type 2 transporter with tracks------looked
pretty neat

I think it was used n the Swiss Alps or something----

Finally we get an interesting bit of content out of this thread: there's
gotta bit a way to remove the wheels and add TRACKS to a Syncro! (Derek,
are you listening?)
Let me just toss out the thought that if you were to lock the steering
straight ahead (need that to keep the tracks on, you know) and then
apply left/right differential braking somehow, you might be able to
steer the thing that way. You'd have a giant VW sno-cat!
OK, it's almost Friday, you guys - start brainstorming!
