Traveling in Aircooled VWs from Germany to Austria, Italy and back in 5 Days, about 1000 miles great landscape and best weather in the mountains. Climbing up with bug, bus, ghia, thing to the 3798 meter high grossglockner high alpine road. Drive in the Dolomiten over Stallersattel, Antholzer Tal, Pustertal, Passo di Falzarego, Passo Pordoj, Sellajoch, Grödnerjoch, Gardatal and back over the Antholzer Tal and Stallersattel. We also visit the Porsche Constructon Office, the Porsche Museum Pfeifhofer and the Porsche-Park in Gmünd, the Schüttgut with Porsches Burial Place in Zell am See, stop on some "Autoschrauber" on the way and we had much fun.

Great pictures. I went to the album "wolfsburg" and wow what a nice tour of the factory. I, of course, enjoyed seeing the 79 Puma. I have a question for some of you though. On page 5, pict 2266 through

2269 show an engine which seems to have a mechanical dist, bypass filtration, dual carbs and custom exhaust. Pict 2267 shows a close up of a plaque on the engine. Would those who can read it, translate it for me? Thank you. Dennis

I hope this translation will be suficient:

TDE Motorumbau

-> TDE engine modification

1700-Meteor S

-> I'm not sure but i believe it is an 1700cc engine "type meteor"

VW 1302s/1303s

-> probably a no brainer; superbeetle with stock 1600cc

75 Ps / 4600 U/min

-> 75 Hp at 4600 Rpm

Leihgabe Theo Dekker Essen

-> Issued by Theo Dekker in Essen (TDE)
