carry along supplies
I hope't the questioner wasn't scared off by all the supplies to carry. Like most old cars, the more you drive your car the more you learn what it might need. I carry some tools, a belt, a set of oil change gaskets and my VW Manual and a ground cloth to lay on. Most everything else is available in l...

1966 VW window sticker
I've seen "Birth Certificates" for VW's. How about reproduction window stickers for VW price and equipment information? Anybody know who sells them?

Pier Show
Nice presentation. To bad the city if St Petersburg wants to tear that pier down and have anohter beach. Dumb, but that's city government.

Battery Tender
I'm really suprised that nobody has tried this and will comment on it.

Battery Tender
Has anyone had any experience using a battery tender on the original 6 Volt battery with the cover on the battery? I've always replaced the metal cover on the battery under the back seat. (A friend with an Issetta set his car on fire when a heavy passenger sat down and shorted the battery out on the...

Red Carpet
With new red carpet, what do you do about tha lack of a red floor matt to match the original? I think original choicesl were Red, Taupe, Black, maybe even grey. But now there is one choice that I know of, and it's not RED.

2 speed wipers
I've been told that VW did like the Model T Ford and introduced changes during the model year. The 2 speed wiper was standard in 67 but so was 12 volt electrical and some late 66 cars had 12 volts. Perhaps yours has both. while still having the 66 deck lid and headlights. Do you also have push butto...

Cherokee NC VW Show
We took our 66 VW for a nice ride to Cherokee on August 15, 2010 for the all VW Show. There were about 100 VW's and a small Flea Market. Dune Buggies were the biggest group, then Micro Buses, then Beetles. Most of the cars and buses were modified. Weather was HOT. In the parking lot it was over 90 d...

Looks easy. Has anyone tried it without injury to the car or the person?
