Hi, I'm adding a special page to my web site that will feature women who drive and hopefully work on classic VW's. I'd like at least a picture of the car/bus and if possible, the driver. Know one ? Are one ? Drop me an email and I'd love to fill the page up. I know your out there.......( I just couldn't be the only one who works on her own car LOL )
But no, it's not short for anything.. it's just Jan.. and yes I would love to be featured, assuming the whole website deal would one day lead to real life meetings and joint baths and pillow wars and playing "tag" in the dark, in a half decent hotel room that also has a jacuzzi. Yea. I wouldn't mind. We'd have sleepovers, right? Us Women of VW.
Boy, give you an idea and you just run with it HAHA !!! Tag in the dark, hmmmm ok. I'll be sure to keep all this in mind. Who knows, you could become our "mascot".
and yes, the 1300 engine is never going to be much to write home about. even if it were perfectly tuned you'd still have a hard time accelerating fast enough to get out of your own way.
Susan....the "Women of VW" sounds like a great idea. A calendar would be nice too. Women with their cars....bikini's optional?? Wrenches in hand.......am I over the line?? Jan would great in a one piece I think? with his famous stocking cap?? Eric
Well Stu, I appreciate the support and perhaps the other "Women of VW" wouldn't mind but I can assure you that the last thing you would want to stare at for 30 days is a picture of me in a bikini.....or a bathing suit....or a moo-moo......
North Iowa. I'm going to keep updating the page with all my VW adventures. I've done some more re-wiring and got my bright light and blinker indicators in the dash working. I also got the horn working, and just ordered a new washer tank for the windshield. I pulled the loose carpet out and there was at least an inch of sand underneath, I'll have pictures of that because it's really unbelieveable. I was going to put a radio in tonight but I can't find it and since I leave my garage open from time to time and it was just sitting on a bench, well, I'm thinking it was snatched. I have to get the speedo working, which is a cable problem. It's sticking through the hub with the clip but I took the wire off the back of the speedo and it turns freely so it must be broken somewhere. I also want the rear defroster to work, looks like an easy fix but I'm not sure how I'll test it. Maybe blow steam on it or something. All simple stuff so far. Once everything works, I'll clean up the interior then decide if I like it enough to put a new motor in and get some body work done. It's pretty solid, metal-wise, so it may be worth it.
Well, thanks for letting me brag a bit, no one around here, and I mean no one, cares about this little car and they all think I'm crazy. It's nice to be driving one around again, though.
Hey! What about me?? I can give you a picture of the baja I *used* to have... and I know how to rebuild a carb and change a throttle cable.... :D And.. since considering my husband as mascot probably isn't the best idea (he's a weirdo), I'm sure I can conjure up a picture of him in a dress and wig at some point... ;)

Great !!! Email me the picture along with your location (city/state) and I'll add you to the page. You know....come to think of it.....I think I have a picture of my husband in a dress and makeup.....that should be good for some VW-parts blackmail !!! LOL
