A friend of my wife's shared this video on facebook.

We have a 1973 Bug Convertible sitting in my parent's barn. I just need to install some sort of roll-bar to mount the hitch to and I'm good-to-go! :headbang2
 
That is great, i want one !! I think your idea just might work, if you did a roll cage and them mounted the hitch to that i think you'd be good to go.. Atleast it would be better than what they had in the video..lol Looks liek it's time to raid your parents barn for that bug.. :)

I think the hardest part will be building the trailer, it would have to be super-lightweight.

Thanks for embedding it!

Definitely.

Sounds cool.
Coolest youtube video I've seen in a long time.

Thats cool.
Yep!

Someone update this and do it with a SmartCar...
Great idea...
 
Found these on the samba, I like the idea of the hitch on the back better than on the drip rails. That would be a lot of braking force put on the rails with that style trailer.

Theres a thread on the samba about someone who built his own mini tear drop trailer somewhere aswell.
