Anybody ever build a "Low Rider" Vanagon?  I saw a local car show-parade
with a few of those in it...Bouncing up and down, getting up on three
wheels, little teenie tires like a kid's wagon...Amazing!

  If you had a Westie with that kinda suspension you could cook popcorn
without shaking the pot by hand...Or make Bond-martinis..."Shaken, not
stirred"..
