Good God! I am sooo glad I went the cheap, err, maybe not ;-) route and just
got myself an Audi. I had dreams of coverting my first bus into a something
much better. This option might have gotten me to pull the credit cards out!
I can only imagine what it would be like to drive one of those.

Doing something like that reminds me of a late 60's VW campervan here in
Boulder. Co that some dude had converted to water-cooled VW Rabbit engine.
He had problems where to place the radiator though, and stuck it on the side
with a big metal scoop. Very ugly!
