According to this article Toyota may only have top spot for about 6 or 7 years compared to GM's 70 or so.

VW just replaced Ford as No3. or No 2?

Not being biased towards VWs, only have two air cooled and one wasser cooled in the family. :o)

Now how do I shoe horn that VW V10 diesel into the Paj ?

Hi reiner,

Have 2 x 74 beetles.
One stock and trying to get the time to do up.
On the road but not finished :o(
Other one is my sons which he races. 98kw at the back wheels from a 2 litre motor last dyno day.
Third car is a 1978 MK1 golf, which we have started work on, so we are not all air-cooled fuddy duddies :o)

Did you make it to the VW drivers club of Qld action day in Brisbane a few weeks ago? Great range of vehicles, including kombis, T4s and T5s.
The 83 you are looking at is a T4 with air cooled motor?

No good in the heat and water though. Seen many a tourist combi die in the Gulf. Fun otherwise, had a beach buggy for a while many years ago.

Hi John
The kombi is a T3 aircooled with the 2 l motor( 2 hrs to go on ebay). My Beetle has a 1916 Stan Pobjoy motor but the mild version. It runs beautiful.
Keep having fun mate
cheers

Probably beat them up most 4x4 tracks too.
