VW Bus Desktop Wallpaper

I was dorking around online and found a bunch of websites with good wall paper for your computer desktop. As I was flipping through Simple Desktop's bunch of wallpapers, 2 VW themed ones popped up. I thought I would share.

This is a VW Splitty heading straight for you:

Occupy with a Blue VW Bus Tent!

I think most people in the VW community and beyond have seen this 60's era microbus tent by now and I've been meaning to post it for some time... and well here it is now. Looks pretty awesome. I can't tell if it has a floor although I assume it does. It has tons of height so you could totally put in an air mattress and a chair if you wanted and have a pretty killer place to chill at the camp ground. Of course on these things you're not going to compete with real tents and their rain-flies and gortex bottoms so beware. The cost of this puppy is pretty high too from what I can tell... AND it only seems to be available via FireBox which is in the UK. 

Guy Driving HALF of a VW Beetle

I thought this was pretty cool and figured you guys would to. Enjoy!

It's an animated GIF of a white Volkswagen bug cut in half from front to back and it's still driving. There is a clear plexi-glass side to it and there's a driver inside. Parking must be pretty easy but I imagine with such a thin wheel width, it's unstable on turns or in wind.

Procrastinating the Blogging

So, I've still been around and still have been working on the 2 buses, taking pictures and writing posts... in my head. I changed the template about a month or so ago and then changed it again tonight. Procrastinating again. I swear I'm going to start writing again soon. I've got so much good content, I really have no reason to not share it with you. Anyway, talk to you all later. Casey

Lost: 1 Oil Bath Air Cleaner... What?!

Well, I was reading through Samba posts tonight and a guy was getting ripped to shreds as is lately happening on there. Aside for the normal noise, the guy posted a picture of his engine. It looks like my engine in the 71 I just bought. The big thing that the contributers were pointing out was that it was missing the Oil Bath Air Cleaner.

Fixing a Leaky Oil Pressure Relief Valve

I spent some time this past weekend fixing an oil leak around my Oil Pressure Relief Valve. It's a huge flat plug on the rear driver side of the engine block.
