What is a Volkswagen????

A club here in S.A. has refused to allow people with alternative engined vws to join or be members. A founding member has threatened to quit if suburu, holden v6 or any other engined volksies are allowed to join. He has stated that the club rules state that the club is only for " vehicles with an engine manufactured by volkswagen". So by the rules you can have a Purvis Eureka or a Holden EH as long as it has a volksie motor in it, so a SEAT engine in the type 3 is O.K.. But your suburu powered splitty or your v6 bay cannot join the club? Now for the interesting bit. There are members of the club who have Autocraft engines, these are not manufactured by VW. Where does it end, the Scat crank in a type 1 engine is not manufactured by VW, the engle cam, the webbers some people use were not fitted by VW. What about Okrasa, or empi?? Interestingly the founding member has an oval with a split rear window fitted, Just for the record I think the more VWs on the road the better , who cares what engine is in it. Some people like the looks of VWs but prefer the reliability and power of a newer engine, ( that should start some feed back?) What do you think???. Cheers Dave
