Our 72 Bay Campmobile / Westfalia is called 'Pumper', she's a wannabe Fire Truck:-) We have been full time travelers in Pumper for the last 4 years travelling over 70,000 road miles, and 20,000 miles on the oceans, and through 40 countries. We've travelled 46 of the lower 48 states, Mexico, Central America, South America and Europe. You can check out our blog at www.rweethereyet.com . It has been essential to keep Pumper performing at her best and looking her best so things get fixed or replaced right away, both mechanically and aesthetically, after all she is our everyday transport and home, we have slept in her 90% of the time. That's why we just had her painted, too many stone chips after all the roads we have travelled. She has never seen a Canadian winter, we always follow good weather. She is a magnet for people because she is such an eye-catcher, you will have new friends wherever you go. Originally a California car with the State of California identification still in place beneath the passenger door. We have the original owners manual and documentation. We purchased Pumper in Washington 4 years ago specifically for our adventure. She was mostly restored but we have made many enhancements and changes. Btw, we are non-smokers. There is absolutely no reason that you could not jump in and enjoy your summer driving wherever you want. There is no outstanding maintenance that would prevent you doing this. We just drove back from Mexico through the Mexican central mountain region and she ran like a charm. I change the oil and filter and grease the front end every 2500 miles, and always check the valve clearances and tune up the engine at the same time. Because of our travel we carry a good supply of parts including a complete change out of the ignition system. The spare parts are included in the sale. We have the 2 children's' cots, one for in the pop top and the other above the driver and passenger seats. Nice set up for a family of four. Also have the rear door mosquito screen and screens for the driver and passenger windows. The louvered windows are screened. So why are we selling Pumper? The reason we began our travel odyssey in 2009 was due to Wendi's (the co-pilot) health, and we did not know how many years we would be able to do what we had always dreamed of doing. Unfortunately for health reasons we need to be less radical in our travel and we have bought a 5th Wheel and truck to travel in a little more luxury and restrict our travel closer to home although we still want to be full-timers. We could put her in storage which is why we have a reserve on the bidding but she was made to be driven, and to think of her sitting in storage for next 5 years would just not be right. It's time for someone else to enjoy her. We have lots more images if you are really serious in bidding and I will provide any information you need on her maintenance record. Shipping would be the buyers responsibility and we would require a deposit at auction close, with payment within 3 days of the close of the auction. PayPal would be good. No panic to pick her up, we don't need her out of our driveway or garage, but you might want to make it quick to enjoy the summer and all the attention she gets. |

Autoweek dubs GMC Canyon, VW GTI its 2015 'Best of the Best'
Wed, Dec 17 2014For kids around the globe, tis the season for Santa, reindeer and presents. For the automotive industry, the last quarter of each year is reserved for awards, whether they come from Motor Trend, Car and Driver, Automobile, or yes, Autoblog. The latest to get released comes from our friends at Autoweek. The magazine has echoed other outlets, naming a Volkswagen hatchback and a small pickup from General Motors as its Best of the Best. Unlike Motor Trend, which handed out its golden calipers to the Chevrolet Colorado and Volkswagen Golf range, Autoweek doled out its awards to the Colorado's twin, the GMC Canyon, while singling out the hottest version of the Golf, the GTI. "This is the best hot-hatch on the American market – and it may be the best car you can buy for less than $30K," one AW staffer said in the publication's article on the feature. Other staffers praised the absolute value provided by the GTI and the overall fun factor. The Canyon, meanwhile, was saluted for being "the perfect size," not to mention its excellent build quality, feature-rich cabin and overall practicality. "It's truly a truck in the most honest sense of the word," Autoweek wrote of the Canyon. Scroll down for the full press release on the announcement from Autoweek, which includes comments from both Volkswagen and GMC. And then head over and read AW's full feature on the awards. Autoweek names Best of the Best/Car and Truck for 2015 Volkswagen Golf GTI and GMC Canyon signal a strong year for design, performance and value DETROIT, Dec. 16, 2014 /PRNewswire/ -- Today, Autoweek named the Volkswagen Golf GTI as its Best of the Best/Car for 2015, beating a group of finalists that includes the Alfa Romeo 4C, Ford Mustang and Mercedes-Benz C-class; and the GMC Canyon as its Best of the Best/Truck for 2015, besting the likes of the Chevrolet Colorado, Lincoln MKC and Porsche Macan. Autoweek evaluates every new or significantly updated model throughout the year and begins to identify the standouts. Performance, economy, fit and finish, design, value, significance to the auto industry and personal taste all combine to define the Best of the Best. Four cars and four trucks make the grade, and Autoweek editors put them through rigorous road-handling tests at Michigan International Speedway in Brooklyn, Mich. This is where a vehicle transcends the numbers and shows if design, performance and pure driving passion meld into an Autoweek Best of the Best pick.
Chrysler and Fiat offering $1,000 rebates to VW owners as Marchionne gets tough
Mon, 10 Dec 2012The throw-down between Fiat CEO Sergio Marchionne and Volkswagen has heated up in earnest. According to Bloomberg, Fiat and Chrysler are now offering current Volkswagen owners in the US $1,000 rebates to trade in their ride. It's the latest in a series of shots Marchionne has taken at his German rival. As you may recall, the Fiat executive entered into a spat with Volkwagen board chairman Ferdinand Piëch and CEO Martin Winterkorn in October after the duo called for Marchionne's resignation from presidency of the European Automotive Manufacturers Association (AECA). At the time, the Volkswagen executives were quoted as saying Fiat would not survive the European economic downturn.
In response, Marchionne called the German executives "reprehensible," and accused Volkswagen of using a pricing strategy that has created created a "bloodbath" in the EU. Volkswagen has taken to steep discounting to carve out ever-larger slices of market share in Europe, but the company has a much smaller foothold in the US. Marchionne may be trying to hit Volkswagen where the manufacturer is weakest with the new Fiat new incentive program.
Late last week, the Fiat executive was voted to a second term as ACEA president.
