So how exatly do you keep your volkswgen alive?

I havent worked that one out yet.

hmm maybe I should get the book???

He's got a slow drawl hasn't he (Muir)

Amazer so were where the engine sounds

It's getting hard to buy anything on tape now, maybe they will release a CD:thumb

Yeah I have the book, can you still get the tape?
Rob.....

I cant remember where I got that from. Off the web somewhere a few years ago.
I dont have any others or the book. Maybe if I ever get my oval out of its cocoon I might need to buy it.

holy crap. do a websearch of john muir volkswagen and see how many results you get back.

black_math, you should get the book. Its pretty awesome...
then you'll know how to keep ur VW alive

Its a superb book.

One of the on my list of "things to do"is to scan the book and make it a pdf so I can print out single sheets and get them oily instead of the book - could also search it as well.

...one day

Yes I have a copy of the Cassette... must convert it to CD.

It makes interesting listening. John goes through all the typical engine noises of a Volkswagen.

Good engine rattlie tappets loose exhaust noisy wheel bearing etc etc

Sounds great Dave! What a cool idea.

Chris: I'd forgotten about the John Muir Wav files... I remember setting them up in messenger LMAO

Hey where coudl i get a copy of that book, or tape/cd ?

Get the book anyone who doesn't have it:thumb

It's the classic VW manual, a must have.

I always get it out when I'm looking something up

So does Muir make the engine sounds himself or are they recorded sounds????

OK, I know I ask some dumb questions, and this is one of them

OK who's gunna be a nice person and make a copy for me! Ill send the tape or disc, and a fiver for a schooner of Crown!
Rob....

So what sounds are you after Rob????

Dave has given you two options:o

Hey, I've been told I snore but no one provides me with the tape evidence

Maybe we could do a compilation CD:rudolf

Convert it to mp3 vw 54 and dare i say it, post it for us

Black_math, I got mine from http://www.amazon.com.  Got it for bout $35 (I think!)

Trying to convert it to CD now but the tape is playing up and dont want to run properly on side 2

The book (read BIBLE) is the most simplest car manual ever made! With NO experience on VW I felt confident enough to unbolt, drop and reinsert the motor of my buggy with my bible at my side, under the car. Any good VW repair shop should be selling it, I got mine from a dodgy looking VW repairer here in ACT.

Keep trying Dave, I have faith in you!
Rob.....
