And that was my reaction when reading that thread on The Samba. That's a fully loaded Vanagon. I know how the handling of my '90 Westy changes when I get just 500 lbs of astronomy gear loaded and take off for the mountains. I can't imagine what the handling would feel like with that high a load especially if running on the wrong tires. > > > > > |
