Re: Schwimmwagen + Kübelwagen plus Kettenkrad on a motocross
Good find. My brother and a were discussing kettenkrads a few hours earlier and I was showing him grunt1's kett and VW stuff at Battleground Toys. I am actually building a kett right now and seeing one in action helps me determine how I want my result to turn out.
Seeing the 'wagens didn't hurt, either. Having a Type 82E show up would have been frosting.

It seemed to me that the Scwimm's had a little more pep to them rolling with the Kubles.
Unless that one Kuble was a little "tired ".
I would imagine the Scwimms were a lot lighter ( they did need to float ) than the Kuble making them easier for off road use.
I had a buddy of mine who offered me his " original running " Kuble for $20,000.
Right after Katrina. At the time I had the money but passed.
Still not sure if I made the right decision.
I am broke now . If I would have gotten it , I would still be broke . But I would have had an original Kuble in my car port.

Great video! The comments mentioned that the first schwimmer was a replica due to the wheelbase. After re-watching it the wheelbase on that one is much larger. Thanks for sharing
