1600 -> 1641 by
Ant
Hello,
I can remember writing about this a while ago, but thought i'd ask again as
my minds a bit naff.

Choke). I've seen that you can buy a piston kit to make it 1641cc. Sounds
good as i understand that you dont need to...

How long were ACVW's designed to last? by
P.O.W.
10 years. I know they used to award a badge if your engine made it to
100,000 km... 60,000 miles.
and who can afford re-building from the pan up?

when you believe the only tool you have is a hammer.
problems tend to look like nails.

Father Of The VW Beetle by
Bill Berckman
In every VW book I have read, they cite Ferdinand Porsche as the
person who designed the VW Beetle. I ran across some information
today that disputes that. It says that an engineer by the name of
Josep Ganz was the person responsible, but because he was Jewish, he
was forced to leave Germany...

Does this product do what it claims? by
Randall Post
This product, PhotoBlocker, comes in an aerosol can. When sprayed on a license
plate it reflects the photo flash back at a red light enforcement camera, thus
effectively making your license plate invisible.
