AlpineK Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 I learned how to drive in a VW Super Beetle back in the 70s. Good times...manual not automatic Quote
Dechristo Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 In the '70's, I had a '68 bus and then a '72 beetle. Loved them. Â Although, the heaters (lack thereof) could be a bitch in the Wyoming winters. Quote
AlpineK Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 I borrowed that same Beetle to go ice climbing around Lake Louise back in the early 80s. The passenger's full time job was to scrape the windshield so the driver could see. We had to store the battery in the old LL Hostel every night. On the days when the high was -40 the bug wouldn't even budge. The hostel keeper wouldn't let us stay in the place, so we did some xc skiing till we'd proved that we'd at least spent a little time outside. Quote
Dechristo Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 In the '70's, that is. Â I upgraded to some Rossi Randonees in '78-'79. Quote

RogerJ Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 What happened to the Jetta TDI this year? Did it not pass the upgraded Diesel standards that are in effect?  -r  PS VW4Ever is in Peru as we speak. No fair posting this while he's gone. Quote

chesterboo Posted June 22, 2007 Posted June 22, 2007 i learned to drive on my dad's old '66 squareback that had 300 k on the original dual carbs. The sucker was getting 36 mpg . no heater though and the battery was propped up behind the driver seat on boards due to all the rust. great times! Quote
