1981 VW Rabbit S, 5 speed manual. Silver over blue. Purchased last year and restored with my son, but then he found a Scirocco and we decided to sell this one. New paint over replaced doors and hatchback, rusted floors replaced, rockers and fender wells cut, welded and repaired. Paint is nice but not show quality. Car is solid...I have driven 60 miles and back with no problems. Does not burn oil or leak significantly. Original fuel injected motor, trans in good working order. Runs, shifts and performes well. Everything works, except tachometer and temp gauge...I use oil temp gauge and have not repaired water temp sender.
All necessary mechanicals replaced, including brakes, struts, fuel pumps, exhaust, tuneup. Interior in good original condition, one little rip in driver's seat. Glass good, but windshield does show pitting with its age. Bought last year from the original owner, who logged all service, oil change, and fuel fillup...fanatic. Brans new all-season radials over freshly painted 15-inch mags. Original black steel rims with snow tires also come with car.
I encourage inspections. Please be aware you are looking at a 32 year old car with personality.

Recharge Wrap-up: Eigg's renewable energy grid, Wulin City Car EV looks like i3
Fri, Sep 12 2014Scotland'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.

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.
