... but at least the engine is where God intended it to be: aft.
Yup, that's her, a 1991 VW Transporter double-cab pickup. Not a beauty and
not really fast (the 1.7L diesel develops a staggering 57 bhp), but she's in
good shape and has
loads of space as you can imagine. I'm already
looking forward to some skiing trips.
She's also quite economical since she's taxed like a truck
and will happily eat vegetable oil. Saw her for sale online when I was
visiting the folks at
Jarn in Norway and
bought her the day I got back home. I mounted the Mexican number plate in
reminiscence of my wonderful time in Mexico where I drove a
Toyoto
Hilux, a vehicle not unlike this one that changed my views on pickup
trucks in general and Toyota in particular.
Meanwhile, I'm moving
the bug to the workshop soon where it'll receive a complete make-over of
the chassis and body.
