wouldn't it be excellent if there's a car care course for air cooled veedubs?!
Get some gurus to show novices like myself how to fix up your car, to keep our beloved veedubs on the road....
Or is there something similar happening already???
That is an awesome idea! I'm definately into that! 🙂
absolutely. we need more gurus here too.
lets nominate the hapless gurus and make a pub crawl out of it 😀
let sleeping dubs lie
would have been good when i first got my vw, even now i would still go, u can never learn to much.
yah that would be awesome...
Shame majority of Dub fans are in the Eastern States..
i guess ill just have to attend the 'car care' courses they got and be happy with that. would rather a specialized Dub course where people work on each others cars and all.!!😀
Pain inflicting is the only way to gain.
well, all we need is a guru willing to spend time passing his knowledge and skills of the "way of the dub" to us 😀
and we can pay him back with beeeeeeer!!!!! :beer:beer
only if we get some as well 😉
I Know a GURU, John Muir.

What a great idea. It would be so good to have someone demo how to find TDC use a feeler gauge, adjust carbie timing, workshop a motor etc.
A VW club could host such a thing.
Might be a bit difficult contacting John Muir these days.
Come on all you club presidents!!!!
would be a fantastic way to increase club membership....and you get to help all of those poor veedub owners who don't have a clue but really really want to learn.
Please:bounceplease:bounceplease:bounce
i give my backing to such a great idea.
Also john muir is an awesome book, ive read it plenty of times and its helped me out on many occasions but these courses would help in hands on experience!!:thumb
unforunately john muir passed away back in later 70s i think...
yes, i bought the john muir book plus hayes manual straight after i bought my bug
so far i've only managed to fix up little things like tail pipes, tail lights, re-alighn head lights and replace heater hoses, it's pretty pathetic i know... :P
would love to try tunning my car, fix up wiring, change shocks etc etc...
Where can you get your hands on that book? i have a couple of handbooks, but i pretty much fit into the catergory of complete dummy!
Definately support this idea. i love my bug, wish i knew how to treat him better... i've made a start- i'm putting the right type of fuel in my air cooled!!!
i bought it from amazon.com or you can order it through
http://www.bookworld.com.au/sounds like a great idea 🙂 I'm still waiting for my muir book from the bookshop...

hey youngone give Guy Harding a call at Hardings European. He would more than likely have a copy in his shop.
they are out near the acherfield airport.
some people are like slinky's
they have no useful purpose
but they are fun to watch
when you push them down the stairs
