Eric's Burb - from Doesburg, The Netherlands sends in his modified "Burb" . He tells us how lucky we are in North America to be able to get the parts that we have available . He also has to pay 2-3 times the price out in Holland. The Burb came from New Jersey . Eric had it in his hot little hands by January 2003.In Holland if your vehicle is altered so it can be used for your work , the taxes are less. It has to have more space for storage and less for passengers. He has altered the Burb so that it is a 2 seater. It's almost factory but has a 6" lift with Alcoa rims and Dick Cepek 36x16.5x15 tires. He'd like to upgrade his diffs to fit 456's but that would cost him about $3300.00 USD. If anyone has suggestions or contacts for Eric to get a better deal in that part of the world, drop me an e-mail. Good show Eric!!!
