The last shop installed a new Empi alternator in my bus about 20k ago. It works fine. Bosch is not always the answer.

This is a BLM (Government) campsite in the desert east of Los Angeles. It is supposed to be $6.00 a night, but old codgers (like Ozziedog) only pay $3.00. Corn Springs Campsite

I don’t know what they’re on about. Everyone I know (in California) uses 20w50 with Zinc in their buses. I used to use 30w in my bus, but that was decades ago.

Often, when taking a walk around a campground, I come across lost or discarded tableware. Forks, spoons, etc., half buried in the dirt and gravel. Being exceptionally cheap, I always pick up those stainless steel utensils, pocket them, take them home and run them through the dishwasher, then...

Hey! Re-attach that cabin light! (Let me know if you require new switches.)

I associate nets with the 1968’s. My ‘70 and ‘71 had the headbanger cabinet. It’s fairly simple to determine who has the headbanger cabinets; just look for the people with a bandage on their forehead.

Friday was a warm, sunny day. Saturday had weather more typical of Bristol. We all ate and drank too much and then left for home Sunday morning.

If it ever rains in the UK (doubtful), catch a flight to the western USA where it will be warm and sunny. (R/T flights into Los Angeles are currently running at about £400) then rent a car (or Campervan) and come to a VW event/show/campout! There’s a few good ones coming up this spring.

The Super Bowl, I’m told, is some sort of sportsball match involving overpaid men which is celebrated primarily in the Colonies. Volkswagen of America 2024 Stupidbowl advertisement

What I did for my ‘71 is source some T25 wheels. They are nearly identical and bolt right on. The T25 (AKA Vanagon) boffins tend to “upgrade” to 17” wheels. Because of that, they jettison their old stock 14” wheels which are then commonly offered for sale, albeit with few takers. There was a...

Yep. That’s where I bought mine. Luckily (for once!) I live on the same side of the pond.
