One thing that’s cool about these and other air cooled VWs is all the aftermarket parts that are still available.

And the motor mounts are the same configuration as Porsche uses, so you can drop a Boxster engine in it...

Beat me to it, I was about to say a buddy of mine swapped a Porsche engine into his VW bus.
 
As should everyone ;):smug:
since Mopar bought AMC (late eighties) what do you think about Dodge reissuing a retro 2 seater AMX with the 392 Hemi now that the Viper’s gone?….:rolleyes:
maybe something along this?….

As cool as one of those would be for cruising in the left lane 10kph under the limit, I would prefer one of these:

And I think yellow would be the preferred colour.

But this would be a close second.

My Dad had one of the earlier version. He described the gears as creep, crawl, walk, and trot. Never 'ran'.

I doubt they’re going to be focusing on performance vehicles these days. Probably going to make the push to electric soon.

Barf. Last weekend I took the car to fill the gas can to fill the lawnmower , hedge trimmer and wheeled weed whacker. When I finished the yardwork I showered and jumped on the motorcycle to unwind. It was a very satisfying day having used all 5 of my internal combustion engines .

I’m right there with you. But the future is inevitable
 
X-ray, MRI, and an arthrogram, doctors still don’t know. Symptoms resemble a torn labia labrum, but didn’t show in any of the images. Been waiting to see a second specialist that the first specialist gave me a referral to. Fun times.

Hope you get the injury sorted out soon Vince.

I don't think we need to see pics of your torn labia.

Speak for yourself!! :laugh:
