Hi, I am offering our '71 camper for sale. Due to an upcoming relocation we can no longer keep "Hannah" and she needs a new caretaker. She's been good and treated us well, she's not perfect but I think a fine, solid good running bus. I'll start w/ mechanicals, tires have plenty of tread left, they're quiet, smooth and have good grip. Up front the calipers, pads and brake lines are about a yr old, at the rear, drums shoes, hoses, hardware and just recently new wheel cylinders. KYB shocks about 2yrs old fr &rear. The front suspension is solid, steers smoothly and tracks straight. The clutch is strong and the trans shifts perfectly. The motor is the famous dual port 1600. I just had the valves adjusted and compression tested a hair under 140lb equally on all 4 cylinders. The motor is strong and sports a brand new weber IDF 40mm carb and a complete tuneup. Currently there is a header w/ a Kadron pipe on it which sounds nice (to me). For others I am including the original bus exhaust which is like new that I can install for you along w/ the original bumper. I also have the original air filter ass'y and vacuum regulator for the dual port distributor which I am currently using as a single. I also have a nos 009 distributor and a few jet selections for the carb depending on your altitude and driving requirements. This motor is solid and runs well, starts well even at 25deg this past winter, and drove thru fairly deep snow no problems, w/ excellant heat! Truly! after 15min @ highway speed the cabin was comfy and windshield clear!......On to the rest, the body is solid, it's not perfect, but the photos show the picture, there is a slight dent in the rear hatch that could prolly be popped out, there is very very slight beginnings of surface rust at various points, the most obvious on the sliding door. But guess what? I'm including a replacement sliding door in the same color! I just never got to swap it out. There is no stove, sink or ice box. They we're removed a long time ago, I think to make room and open up the cabin a bit. The top goes up and down smoothly, the flap zippers operate smoothly, there is a minor tear in the left side tent screen but a little patching should work there. The mattress cushions for up top sleeping are real nice as well as the pull out bench down below. The rear most cushion is gone as that was always the spot for the "stuff". The milk crate behind the drivers seat was for our dog. All in I like how it drives, it's great at the beach and in the hills, it hauls everything. All the locks work, all the lights work, the heat works, the tent is good, the engine is strong, the wipers work, everything. It needs a little cosmetic attention and a radio. I think there's a 1/2 tank of gas, throw your stuff in, turn the key and go. Any questions? feel free any time before 10pm est @ 516-978-5634. My name is Joe and I'll help any way I can, Thanks! I think the starting price to be fair w/ no reserve. A $500 deposit will secure the deal upon completion of auction

Germany says nein to EU ban on new fossil-fuel cars from 2035
Tue, Jun 21 2022BERLIN (Reuters) - Germany's government will not agree to European Union plans to effectively ban the sale of new cars with combustion engines from 2035, Finance Minister Christian Lindner said on Tuesday. In its bid to cut planet-warming emissions by 55% by 2030 from 1990 levels, the European Commission has proposed a 100% reduction in CO2 emissions from new cars by 2035. That means it would be impossible to sell combustion engine cars from then. European Parliament lawmakers backed the proposals this month, before negotiations with EU countries on the final law take place. Speaking at an event hosted by Germany's BDI industry association, Lindner said there would continue to be niches for combustion engines so a ban was wrong and said the government would not agree to this European legislation. Lindner, a member of the pro-business Free Democrats, which shares power with the Social Democrats and Greens, said Germany would still be a leading market for electric vehicles.

Audi CEO says brand's EVs are almost as profitable as its other cars
Mon, Oct 4 2021After, oh, a hundred years or so of building vehicles primarily powered by internal combustion engines, automakers around the world have been and still are pumping billions of dollars into the development of electric vehicle technology. Everything from platforms and batteries to motors and the software to control it all requires untold hours of development, and that takes time and money. Fortunately, it's not going to take long for that massive investment to start paying off, at least according to Audi CEO Markus Duesmann, who told Reuters in an interview that "The point where we earn as much money with electric cars as with combustion engine cars is now, or ... next year, 2023. They are very even now, the prices." As a brand, Audi contributed more than a quarter of overall profit for the massive Volkswagen Group, which has such powerhouse brands as Volkswagen and Porsche among others. Under the Audi umbrella are Lamborghini, Bentley and Ducati, and it seems those high-end branches aren't going anywhere, at least for now. "These brands ... are very valuable very profitable brands, where we can even expand the synergy level in the future," Duesmann said in the interview. "There are no plans whatsoever to get rid of them." Despite the overall profitability of the brand, the ongoing global chip crisis is causing headaches. "We had a very strong first half in 2021. We do expect a much weaker second half," said Duesmann, who added, "We really have trouble." In fact, so serious is the trouble that the brand is forced into "a day-to-day troubleshooting process" to limit the chip-shortage damage. The good news for the automaker is that Audi has been able to boost its profit margin from 8% prior to the pandemic in 2019 to 10.7% in the first half of 2021. The bad news is that various chip shortages aren't expected to get a whole lot better over the rest of the year. Related video:
1000-hp Mk1 VW Golf is terrifyingly cool
Tue, 04 Jun 2013There are plenty of things to love about the Mk1 Volkswgen Golf. The machine's horsepower isn't one of them. From the factory, the little hatch cranked a breathy 112 horsepower from the most robust form of its 1.8-liter four-cylinder engine. Boba motoring, however, has taken that figure and multiplied it by a factor of nearly 10. If 1,000 horsepower sounds terrifying in a machine with a wheelbase of just 94.5 inches, it should. A massive Garrett GTX4202R turbo force-feeds the little mill through a tweaked 16-valve KR head. The crew calls the beast the 16Vampir, and we think that's fitting.
Of course, we'd wager you quit reading right about the time you set your eyes on that headline. Those of you who've stuck around this long can point yourselves below to see the maniacal creation in action. You won't be disappointed.
