Cloudy

Rainy this morning, but it's not useless today. I'll think over to make use of this cloudy weather.
NET surfing yesterday introduced me about the variation of axle suspensions on ancient VW air-cooled Beetle at 1972-1973, in very short period of time modified beetles were produced. Frontal construction is strut and independent suspension was applied for rear axle instead of conventional two parallel tortion bars style. Thank to the modern designing strut model obtained smaller turning circle from 5,5m to 4,5m, judging from the body sise, 5,5m turnig circle was unconvenient for daily use especially garaging, in another words, the bigger turning circle is the disadvantage of parallel tortion bars design.
Additionally the baggage space were broadened with re-designing of fuel tank as secondary benefit on invitation of strut design.
