Hey,
What is that, a Vauxhall Vectra? I ain't been in europe for a few years so I am taxing my brain to figure that one out.....
I think it is pretty cool and interesting.....must've had money to waste though....

P.S Other guess is an Audi....

It's a VolksWagen Passat the lasted model:sun:

WTF??? Someone has way too much money laying around. I mean who takes a Passat, chops off the engine and turns it into a trailer. That Passat in the front better have some beefy brakes or he'll have two trailers to tow around. :D

The brakes look pretty weedy to me.....:eek: :o

Thats cool, i like it. Be good to use Aoshima Accord wagons to make something similar.

VW Power Baby!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty sure thats a photoshop chop. I mean i could be wrong its been known to happen, but then somebody explain to me y a trailer still has its exhaust attached to it.

Our very first "AF" winner ??

Now lets see some more pics of this bad boy :cool:

If you look in the second picture you can see a box in the pasengers side. In the first picture there is no steering wheel .I think its real.

fly, good idea hehe, this is a real neat looking trailer!

:jump: that "box" looks like its a computer:evillaugh , and i doubt it is fake,:jump: them europeans are fu**in crazy:evillaugh

:crazy: (yes, I know there's no smiley like that!)

:silly:

:p

:jump:

I KNOW that is real. A couple of my friends have seen them. I guess it's a new trend. :rolleyes:

I very much doubt it is a chop, just look at the reflections in the car. Damn hard to do that in photoshop, there is a reflection of a sign in the first pic that starts in the car and continues through to the trailer - now tell me its fake!!!

She: "Honey I wrecked the car"
He: "Oh nevermind I'll buy another one and use the old one as a trailer..." :hehehe:

It is real (no "Photoshop conversion"), I saw that car before.
The trailer is not much use: its empty weight alone almost exceeds the allowed towing capacity of the car
(a 4wd VR6 VW Passat, IIRC).
The exhausts are left on the trailer for dramatic effect: it is pretty weird to overtake this thing
and find out there's an identical car towing it.

The car and trailer are real!

A guy from Switzerland has built this trailer. He bought a crashed Passat an cut the front off. The trailer is a multimedia station with DVD-Player, Playstation and a tapping plant for a fine beer!

1998 VW Passat 3B Variant
- scratchbuilt front bumper & rear bumper
- 125 HP
- KW thread chassis
- lowered (front: 80mm/rear: 60mm)
- 19" Work Equipe rims (front: 245/35, rear: 275/30)
- etc.

Trailer
- Tapping Plant for beer with run cooling
- Bar
- Playstation
- Video Beamer
- CD/DVD Player
- 17" monitor
- etc.

I hope you understood everything, I translated the modifications with babelfish. (altavista.com)

Maybe I could scan the report about the car & trailer that appeared in the "VW Speed", a german tuning magazine.

loLz.. Awesome..
I initially thought it was photoshop edited.

only a 125hp?

my civic has more hp than that, and I know I couldn't tow that thing.

please correct me if I'm wrong.
