DIY hitch-mounted boat tail on Audi A2 3L (photos)

Found out about this Audi + tail from an inbound link to my thread about the Blackfly's prototype boat tail.

An Audi A2 forum was reacting to this vehicle:



Did a Google search of the text on the side of the tail, which led me to a Netherlands web site documenting the build: aerotail

EDIT: the tail builder has joined EcoModder and posted a thread here: http://ecomodder.com/forum/showthrea...2-18413-2.html







More photos & info (you'll have to Google Translate it, unless you read Dutch) here:
