Our 72 Bay Campmobile / Westfalia is called 'Pumper', she's a wannabe Fire Truck:-) We have been full time travelers in Pumper for the last 4 years travelling over 70,000 road miles, and 20,000 miles on the oceans, and through 40 countries. We've travelled 46 of the lower 48 states, Mexico, Central America, South America and Europe. You can check out our blog at www.rweethereyet.com . It has been essential to keep Pumper performing at her best and looking her best so things get fixed or replaced right away, both mechanically and aesthetically, after all she is our everyday transport and home, we have slept in her 90% of the time. That's why we just had her painted, too many stone chips after all the roads we have travelled. She has never seen a Canadian winter, we always follow good weather. She is a magnet for people because she is such an eye-catcher, you will have new friends wherever you go. Originally a California car with the State of California identification still in place beneath the passenger door. We have the original owners manual and documentation. We purchased Pumper in Washington 4 years ago specifically for our adventure. She was mostly restored but we have made many enhancements and changes. Btw, we are non-smokers. There is absolutely no reason that you could not jump in and enjoy your summer driving wherever you want. There is no outstanding maintenance that would prevent you doing this. We just drove back from Mexico through the Mexican central mountain region and she ran like a charm. I change the oil and filter and grease the front end every 2500 miles, and always check the valve clearances and tune up the engine at the same time. Because of our travel we carry a good supply of parts including a complete change out of the ignition system. The spare parts are included in the sale. We have the 2 children's' cots, one for in the pop top and the other above the driver and passenger seats. Nice set up for a family of four. Also have the rear door mosquito screen and screens for the driver and passenger windows. The louvered windows are screened. So why are we selling Pumper? The reason we began our travel odyssey in 2009 was due to Wendi's (the co-pilot) health, and we did not know how many years we would be able to do what we had always dreamed of doing. Unfortunately for health reasons we need to be less radical in our travel and we have bought a 5th Wheel and truck to travel in a little more luxury and restrict our travel closer to home although we still want to be full-timers. We could put her in storage which is why we have a reserve on the bidding but she was made to be driven, and to think of her sitting in storage for next 5 years would just not be right. It's time for someone else to enjoy her. We have lots more images if you are really serious in bidding and I will provide any information you need on her maintenance record. Shipping would be the buyers responsibility and we would require a deposit at auction close, with payment within 3 days of the close of the auction. PayPal would be good. No panic to pick her up, we don't need her out of our driveway or garage, but you might want to make it quick to enjoy the summer and all the attention she gets. |

Volkswagen and Funny or Die take humorous spin in 2015 Golf
Wed, 10 Sep 2014Volkswagen is partnering with Target and Funny or Die in a bizarre ad for the latest Golf starring comedian Rob Huebel, probably best known for his work on Childrens Hospital on Adult Swim.
The commercial is titled The Way Too Helpful Neighbor and stars Huebel as the eponymous neighbor. The challenge is for Huebel to help improve his buddy's apartment before the guy meets his girlfriend's parents for the first time. The obvious way to do that is to slide a new Golf through an actual Target in Texas, while simultaneously showcasing the store's goods and the car's features.
The commercial is airing online now and on TBS during breaks in Conan O'Brien's show, with sneak peaks during other programs on the network. Auto advertising is becoming pretty normal for Funny or Die at this point, though, with the site previously partnering with Fiat for several videos. Check out the ad above and see if you think it works. Scroll down for VW's announcement.
Audi to keep hiring workers despite VW diesel scandal
Tue, Oct 27 2015Even while Volkswagen contemplates delaying or canceling projects to pay for costs related to the massive diesel emissions scandal, its stablemate Audi is hiring, according to Reuters. Audi certainly isn't immune to the diesel scandal, with around 2.1 million affected vehicles worldwide including 13,000-14,000 in the US, but the scandal so far isn't affecting staffing levels. "We are sticking with plans for strategic growth and are continuing to hire new employees as planned," Audi board member for human resources Thomas Sigi said in a German newspaper, according to Reuters. Sigi even suggested paying a "respectable" bonus to workers next year. Audi has some big projects on the horizon, too. Among them, the company intends to launch a production version of the E-Tron Quattro Concept in 2018, and for performance fans a new TT RS appears to be on the way. The new A4 should be a big contributor to global volume when its worldwide rollout is complete. Rather than allowing the diesel scandal to hurt all of its divisions, the VW Group instead wants to concentrate the fallout (and costs) on the VW brand, according to Reuters. Those expenses could be huge. Volkswagen is budgeting around $7.3 billion just to repair the 11 million emissions-cheating vehicles. Worldwide, maximum estimates put the whole mess at $87 billion.

VW investigating Golf water leak discovered by car magazine
Sat, 07 Sep 2013Volkswagen is in a spat with German magazine Auto Bild over claims that its new, seventh-generation Golf may already need a recall. The German weekly reports that new Golfs can leak water into front-passenger footwells due to a faulty drainage tube in their air conditioning systems.
And while the fix itself doesn't sound too terrible, because Volkswagen bases so many cars off the same platform as the Golf, Auto Bild is claiming that 300,000 models could be affected, including the Audi A3 and Seat Leon. That's a very bold claim. For its part, VW is vehemently denying that number, according to Reuters, saying it's aware of the problem and claiming only 46 Golfs need fixing. In addition, it denies that any Audi or Seat models are affected by the issue.
Either way, regardless of how pervasive this leak issue is, North American buyers should rest easy knowing that the problems ought to get fixed by the time the Mk VII Golf finaly reaches our dealerships.
