VW Bus Drives on your Records, Plays Music

Posted on Monday 31 March 2008

Take a look at this cute little VW Bus record player. Yes a record player. Billed as the world’s smallest portable record player, the Sound Wagon drives around on your vinyl and plays music through an integrated speaker.



The small speaker probably doesn’t allow for the greatest sound quality and the manufacturer does not recommend you use this on your valuable records as the VW’s wheels might cause damage but for a roving impromptu party with your Grateful Dead’s American Beauty record (highly recommended btw), it’s might just be the perfect little thing.
