eBay has a few Bburago 1/18 New Beetle's , made in Italy with opening doors, hood , hatch back and the steering wheel turns the front wheels. Its a very accurate cast model, even the mirrors look correct.

So I ended up buying one of the above mentioned models for $20 with free delivery. I had a few Beetle choices but choose a 1/18 New Beetle Cup car.
So I can test it in its race configuration then add a Kammback for further testing.
I will wind test with what I can , I remember that my grand dad made a shop ventilation fan by attaching metal blades to a 2hp electric motor - it was powerful.
I also want to make a water test system up , a fish tank to test with a inlet and outlet, yet to be designed or thoroughly looked into ..
I do not like the graphics or color much.. I bought it with no intent on reselling it as I will be damaging the paint in short order in the name of science ... ouch to the collectors with there neatly displayed boxes.
A photo of the "Cup" car and the body kit , basically it allows bigger tires and is lower to the ground.
