CRUISE FOR THE CURE 2008 #12 3 WHEEL MOTION VW BEETLE ON AIR

CFTC '08
VW BASED EVENT
MAY 4, 2008
EVERY YEAR THE CFTC STAFF SETS UP A 100 MILE CRUISE AND CAR SHOW. THIS YEAR THE CRUISE STARTED JUST NORTH OF TACOMA UP I-5 PAST RENTON TOWARDS SEATTLE TO I-90, ACROSS LAKE WASHINGTON'S FLOATING BRIDGE, THROUGH MERCER ISLAND, PAST BELLEVUE & ISSAQUAH AND UP TO THE LODGE AT SNOQUALMIE PASS...THEN BACK DOWN TO LAKE SAMMAMISH PARK FOR THE SHOW. THE CRUISE THIS YEAR HAD AROUND 400 VOLKSWAGEN CARS ALONG WITH A FEW PORSCHE,MERCEDES, AUDI VEHICLES REPRESENTING THE GERMAN AUTOMOTIVE MARKET.
THIS VIDEO IS JUST A SHORT CLIP OF THAT EVENT. THIS VW BEETLE IS DOING 3 WHEEL MOTION ON A CUSTOM AIR BAG SUSPENSION. THE FRONT BEAM IS CUSTOM MADE TO WORK WITH 2 BAGS, ONE ON EACH SIDE. ITS DRIVABLE IN EVERY POSITION. THE WHEELS LOOK LIKE SPARE WHEELS FROM 1980'S PORSCHES.

These wheels are from the champion of the world... a limited edition of the Super Bug! Nice ride!

The wheels are 5 lug aluminum alloy with Porsche 5x130mm bolt patterns. The wheels you refer to are 4 lug 4x130mm pressed steel wheels used on 1975-1978 Special edition Karmann Super Beetles but they used to be dealer optioned and are called the Marathon wheels. I have 6 Marathon wheels stacked up in my shop for the next Super Beetle restoration.
