1965 vw bug driver... this is a good running bug that has been coverted to 12 volt that I used as a daily driver for a couple of summers...still a very original car with lots of patina from paint chips to blemishes and some peeling and dents....odometer is over the 100 ......I changed the shifter guide and put in storage last winter where it sat mostly to the end of summer into the fall.. I drove it home and drove 1/2 dozen times, shiter could still use adjusting... one morning it would not start and that is wher we are at right now.. it does not make a click when you turn the key...I assume it is the battery or something with a wire connection, or worse case a starter....anyway, I have decided to list it for sale in as is condition....if it warms up I may try and put a charge on the battery....the pics make the car look nicer than it is...it is a survivor car that has not had any type of restoration.....it has an adjustable front beam, and the car has been lowered in the past...it has the push out rear windows, radio delete.....lots of flaws and chips in the paint that is very worn but still holds a shine......the window regulators are sticky and wore out as are the door hinges and strikers.... the running boards are rusty and need to be recovered... I thought of replacing them but am afraid the rockers would need to be replaced if i was to start taking bolts off...the heater channels are not funtional due to the fact they were full of holes..... the floor pans have been patched over the years and the passenger side floor is pretty bad... but the patches are water tight and I used the bug for a driver,..... so my only concerns were with keeping the interior water tight... It does have a new carpet installed a few years back.... the dash and the headliner are very original as are the door panels....thr front seats have some old vw covers on them and the rear seats have a fabric over them..the exhaust will need some work with a few of the pipes rusting.....see pics.......anyway, nice running car and is clean inside, what you see is what you get...good driver for someone wanting to get into a VW... but due to rust issues this may not be a canidate for a restoration but I guess that is my opinion ...just a good survivor car to drive and enjoy as it is.... I drove it often and used it to carry my bikes when I would go cycling as why you see the bike rack.....this is being sold as is no warranty...the value of this car is somewhere between $2000 to $3000...so please don't over bid expecting some great deal on a bug......I am willing to help with loading on a trailer... I would not recomend driving this car any great distance at all, nor driving until you work out any bugs it may have.... so plan on having it towed home..... payapl payment of $80 at close of auction....balance can be paid in person when picking up the car, or if buyer is out of state car will not ship until check clears bank...I reserve the right to end the auction at any time....

A fix is finally coming for some diesel Volkswagens in America

Fri, Jan 6 2017

According to Automotive News, the EPA has approved a fix for select Volkswagen and Audi 2.0-liter diesel vehicles. The fix applies to 2015 VW Beetles, Golfs, Golf SportWagens, Jettas, Passats, and Audi A3s. Unfortunately for a majority of people saddled with cheating VWs, Automotive News reports that only about 70,000 vehicles will get this fix. The remainder of the 475,000 affected cars don't have an approved fix yet. The fix first involves a software update. Later, a particulate filter and additional catalysts will be installed with a further software update. According to Automotive News, the hardware portion will be available next year. Despite the small number of vehicles approved, this may give VW owners some hope that they'll be able to make their cars emissions compliant. Volkswagen also recently got approval for a fix of nine million cars in Europe, and the company may be close to a fix for diesel V6 models. However, for owners of 2.0-liter models uninterested in waiting for a fix, they can still participate in the buyback. Volkswagen would prefer that repurchased cars aren't stripped of parts beforehand, though.

Porsche 911 with VW turbodiesel prepares for LeMons assault

Fri, 21 Mar 2014

LeMons racing is a wonderful example that setting limits can actually breed creativity. The series mandates that all entries must cost $500, not counting safety equipment, and that cap forces teams to be ingenious in how they build a racecar. Take for example this diesel-powered Porsche 911, which its creators have dubbed Ferkel the Nein-11, that will be racing in the Sears Pointless race this weekend in Sonoma, California.
This Frankenstein combines a 911 chassis that was originally bought just for its European powertrain and a Volkswagen TDI diesel engine mounted in the rear. After deciding the shell could still be of some use, the team decided to go racing. "We began brainstorming what replacement drivetrain to use for maximum offense and there was really only one answer: a diesel," said Philipp von Weitershausen, one of the team captains, to Jalopnik. They bought a 1998 Jetta TDI on the cheap and started figuring out a way to hack the engine into the bay. To pay respect to the donor, the VW's trunk was highly modified (and drilled) and grafted onto the back of Ferkel.
This team isn't a newcomer to LeMons. Its last car was a classic VW Beetle with a Subaru engine and dual controls, named Ferdinand the Bug, which could be driven from the left or right side. It's quite a sight.

Recharge Wrap-up: Eigg's renewable energy grid, Wulin City Car EV looks like i3

Fri, Sep 12 2014

Scotland's Isle of Eigg's electrical grid relies solely on wind, hydro and solar power. It's the first grid of its kind after switching to renewable energy from noisy, unreliable diesel generators. Scotland's renewable resources are fodder for supporters of independence form the UK, and Eigg is a perfect example of that potential. Besides being a responsible community, it also seems like a lovely place to visit. Read more at Reuters. London Mayor Boris Johnson is calling for incentives for diesel vehicle scrapping. The goal is to improve London's air quality, encourage the purchase of clean vehicles and offset the inconvenience of charging diesel cars to enter the city's proposed Ultra Low Emissions Zone. Read more at Green Car Congress or in the press release below. BMW, Nissan, Renault and Volkswagen are teaming up to create a better EV charging infrastructure in the UK and Ireland. As part of the Trans-European Transport Network (T-ENT) program, the group aims to create extended EV-friendly roadways with the UK Rapid Charge Network, connecting major cities on the islands. Plans for the network include 70 rapid chargers along 684 miles of road. The four manufacturers also want to extend the project to mainland Europe to encourage the adoption of EVs. Read more at Hybrid Cars. Wuling is working on an EV, called City Car, which liberally takes visual cues from the BMW i3. The City Car EV concept is slated to make its debut in November at the Guangzhou Auto Show, while a production version could make its way onto Chinese roads next year. We might have to wait until the debut to know what powers the City Car, as those details haven't been released yet. General Motors is a 43-percent stakeholder in Wuling.

Now customers will be able to use either app to pay in any of the city's 20,000 green and yellow taxis. There's no need for separate apps for separate cabs, and no need for drivers to install any new equipment. The groups behind the apps hope to expand this functionality to other cities across the country. Read more in the press release below.
