None of them drowned, but did any of the drivers get wet?

BiX you are on.
I love the heat and can do without an air con any day, but the heater has to be cranked.
That's why I prefer the Beetle to the Kombi in winter. It gets real toasty in there.

Hah, well that's what you get I guess when you play in the mud!
What do you do to protect the engine/distributor from the water? May be a dumb question but had to ask:jesus

I hate sand! You clean your buggy and the next day it's sandy again.

I hate sand! You clean your buggy again and the next day it's sandy again.
Finally after six months of cleaning sand it's finally starting to stop coming out of every nok and cranny, it's time to go down to the
beach again.

When painted all of the orifices are taped up and sand is trapped.
Unfortuatley due to the velocity rquired to sandblast, the stuff gets in those gaps.
