cool idea could start a new craze. It would be great to see it being towed on a "A" frame behind Beetle/Bus to the dunes...for aircooled fun.

OK Guys
Remember that I slave away at the grindstone most of the day so I will hopefully take all measurements and more foto's on the weekend.
The only problem I can see is that the frame is built to accommodate the quad "body".
