I haven't had much luck in figuring out how to upload and post photos here. Instructions are kinda vague in the FAQ section. I'll keep trying. Thanks, Derek

Talked with owners today, decided 2 weeks from tomorrow, I'll 'officially' be an Airstream Motorhome owner. Already calling it my 'Mobile Retirement Villa'! Only 9 more years to go, in the meantime, plenty of road-trips.....

Hi TC,
I'm on my 7th Volkswagen in my lifetime. Yes, guess you could call me crazy about Volkswagens, lol. 1 1979 Rabbit (Golf) diesel, 1989 Jetta Diesel, 1991 Passat, 1993 Passat GLX, 1996 Passat TDI, 2002 Passat GL, and for now, a 2011 Passat CC. Favorite is the current one, but that always seems to be the case. Hoping next round of CC's, VW of America will finally import the diesel here.

YEAH! I have a 1982 VW Rabbit Convertible as a "toad" and it runs great! Love it but I can hardly wait to see the new beetle coming out this fall.

Tell me something about towing the V-dub. Do you tow it on a tow-dolly or 4 down?

Tow it with all four tires on the ground with a "Brake Buddy" system inside and a "Blue Ox" tow bar.

Hi
Sorry for the delay
My son was rushed into Hospital so Ive had my hands full with it all
He owned a Dub for years..his pride and joy then sold it for an old Merc
We are hanging our noses over a VW Transporter st the mow
Robin sent me a link but I couldnt find one over where you are
Prob an engine with a bit of pulling power over 2 ltrs needed
I have been told under that is a bit gutless
Cheerios for now
Love TC

Hi TinCrumpet, hope all is well with your son. Wow, a VW Transporter? Please don't tell me from the early 60's??? I'll be a jealous one if so! After the Airstream, a 23 window Microbus would be my ultimate 'ride'! Thanks, Derek

I wonder which one would have a harder time crossing the Continental Divide...

crumpet point can be up to 12'00 feet...it''s a really huge tow and can be 10 to 15mph...just don't be in hurry(won't do any good), and prepare yourself for the fingered signs you used to use when you were young and caught behind...far as I'm concerned, I'm in front...m

Diesel Chassis

Has anyone considered changing the complete chassis on a Classic?
Here is a turbo diesel Nissan cheap.
You will have to do your own research on this. I just thought it might be a good discusssion subject.

I see these trucks alot around my area, and always have thought about pulling the P-30 chassis and putting one of these underneath. Doubt it would be that simple though, especially steering and such. Wonder what the wheelbase on this is? As well, what size motor? Sure it's diesel, turbo perhaps?
Thanks, Derek
