Beautifully restored white 1971 VW Adventurewagen.  approx. 250 miles on a 1.7 liter (74mm stroke by 85.5mm bore) engine running ported and polished dual port heads with a custom valve grind, forged, counterbalanced crank, dual Weber 34ICT carburetors, deep oil sump, large external oil cooler with thermostatically controlled fan (on at 170 degrees F.), rear anti-sway bar (dramatically decreases drifting in crosswinds), powder coated Porsche 928 rims, powder coated front and rear bumpers, halogen headlights, dual battery set-up with state-of-the-art isolation technology, entire braking system replaced with new parts (including power brake actuator), front beam completely rebuilt with new tie rods and ball joints, new rear axles and CV joints.  Interior is very clean with new headliner up front, refinished wood panels in rear, all lights working, refrigerator works on both 110VAC and 12VDC, stove works, fully pressure capable water system works.  We took this camper all the way to Seattle Wa. Last summer and camped along the way.  It was a great experience.  We documented an average of 20 MPG the whole way, and even in 100 plus degree temps, the engine ran cool.  The "stroker" motor does an amazing job climbing grades and leaves other busses in the dust.  Everywhere we go, we get thumbs up and people taking pictures.  


I have receipts for $11,300 specifically invested in this vehicle.  This amount doesn't even include the amount spent rebuilding the engine since that was paid for by the prior owner.

Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.

Translogic 164: Driving the fuel cell vehicles of the 2014 LA Auto Show

Wed, Nov 26 2014

The LA Auto Show is known for its environmentally friendly vehicle debuts. At last year's show, hydrogen fuel cell concepts from Honda and Toyota joined a lease-ready Hyundai Tucson FCEV to cast a green hue over the convention center. This year, automakers took us a step closer to a fuel cell future by offering drives of their hydrogen-electric hybrids. Translogic host Jonathon Buckley takes a ride in the Toyota Mirai, which is headed for production in 2016. He follows that with a spin in the Volkswagen Passat HyMotion and the Audi A7 Sportback h-tron quattro concept. Which of these fuel cell vehicles holds the most promise? Tune in to find out.
