VW Thing Burnout
So what happens when you pour a bunch of oil on the ground, chalk the front tires, and hit the gas?  Well you make a big smoke show.  Amazing!
How To Hand Crank A VW Thing
All Things have the hole in the bumper for a hand crank though no US Spec model's came with the correct front engine tin and crank nut to do this.  This guy put them both on and shows how to hand crank start a VW Thing.  Don't know when this would come in handy but worth a watch.

Silverwood, CA Baja Run - 2008

Baja 1000 - 100 Miles
This video was taken from the passanger seat as someone drove there VW Thing in a Baja 1000 race.  Really cool footage as to what the VW Thing can really do.
A-1 Exhaust
I thought the header set up on this 1973 VW Thing was intersting.  It is not the typical type of header you would find on a Volkswagen.  The muffler sounds nice too.
Electric Thing
Have you ever wondered what it would be like to convert your VW Thing to be fully electric?  Well, even if you haden't, this video will put you in the passanger seat of one.
