Fleabug

Yesterday the 25th of September my Uncle bought out his new toy. It is a Volkswagen offroader buggy. My Uncle calls it Fleabug. Now this thing hasn't had a lot of TLC ( Tender Loving Care ) in a long time so that's what my Uncle and I have in mind.  Fleabug looks like a dune buggy with a red roll cage and a silver fibre glass bonet. He has his engine at the back. For the first issue the gear box does not allow you to change gears very well. Secondly, there is a crack in the chassis and lastly it needs the steering to have a faster reaction to turning. You have to turn the steering wheel a quarter turn before you get some turning. Now that the negatives are out of the way I'll give you some positives. So, the good things are; it runs well, everything works and it doesn't need a trailer. Fleabug has a cool arrangement that you just bolt a draw bar on to tow. I was the first out of my family to ride in Fleabug. Uncle and I tore up and down the road at full bore. The road is gravel, of course. I had a lot of fun and that is the main thing. I am looking forward to Uncle coming out with Fleabug over the summer.
