VW RollGolf Rolls Again!

Thank God that beer-fueled Dutch inventors have to endure long winters. Otherwise, we wouldn’t know what happens when you shorten the wheelbase of a VW Golf, lift the suspension and wrap the outside in a round roll cage. If you liked the first roll Golf video that circulated the internet, you’ll love the repeat antics in this one. It looks like our conquering heroes have worked (most) of the bugs out and completed the design for their self righting car.

It’s a good thing I don’t own an acetylene torch and a tubing bender, because there’s a press fleet Fiesta in my driveway that would make a pretty spectacular roll car. Of course it’s not winter down here, and using a cutting torch in a 100 degree garage isn’t my idea of fun.
