Ben, I don't have an old pic of a beetle in a crash, but I have a new one, just
haven't scanned it from the book yet. You see, VW do Brazil stopped the
production of the Fusca (Bug) in 1986, but demands were so high that they
started the assembly of the peoples car again, in 1993. Of course, it was a
"new" model, and it had to go through a crash test, which it did with flying
colors. I do not have any info about the speed etc, all I know is that it is a
Brazil car, not a Mexican. (there are some differences) Email me, and I'll send
you the pic!
