| 12/07/07 | Sharon Lyon | This could almost be our 71 VW camper,which my husband stripped out the screw to the oil pan, trying to change the oil. From then on it leaked oil and probably got ruined. I can't remember what happened to it. |
| 06/24/03 | kevin hinds | I was almost home and the gas pedal went to the floor when I pushed down on it with no drag and stayed their when I had lift my foot up. (melted return spring) I started smelling smoke then I could see it coming out of the heater ducts. I look in my side mirror and somke was billowing out of the air scoops.
I was so lucky, I was on a hill and my house was at the end of it. I was able to roll down the hill to my house and and put a garden hose to it. I had to replace everything not made of metal. It was a bitter sweat thing. For the next 2 or more years (no kidding) I found my self looking in my side mirror for smoke coming out of air scoop. The fire was started by the brass fuel line neck falling off the carb. A year or so later I found the brass fuel line neck on the fuel pump was loose and saved my self lots of gref, big time. Odd's are I would not be so lucky next time. SO IT PAYS OFF! KEEP AN EYE ON IT! |

| 07/01/02 | kimball | does it run |
| 06/28/02 | HOBBYJIM | Kind of cool.That was done a lot in the late 60's early 70's, would look a lot better with a paint job. |
| 06/28/02 | Real Chuck | I at least would have wrote something funny, take some time and you may be funny someday, other than your appearance, and your love for young boys. |
| 06/27/02 | Chuck | Ohhhhhhhh I must have it. It makes me feel warm all over. I'm touching myself with one hand and typing with the other. If only I had an 11 year old boy with me right now. |

| 07/17/02 | Andrew Wood | That totally sucks about the '63.I'd hate to see a Baywindow go over,let alone your Deluxe.I also don't think it's time for people to start lecturing on the values of slamming your bus.Grow up,Patrick.Everyone has accidents & I've seen more "supercars" which are designed to handle in bad smashes than humble standard buses. |
| 06/26/02 | incynr8 | I checked all my lug bolts after this one, some needed tightening..Please check them in memory of Lind's bus! |
| 06/14/02 | david benardo | Thanks for putting up your story ( http://www.webpak.net/~lind/rip.html ) We should all check wheels today. Thanks for all the cool pics of a loved bus. Hope you get new one soon. |
| 06/14/02 | lind | thanks to all for the support. you can read the full description of the accident on my website: http://www.webpak.net/~lind/rip.html |
| 06/13/02 | Mike | Patrick, your the DA who mentioned anything about it. |
| 06/13/02 | I cant remember the last time I saw a lowered bus without a beat up underside. GFY | |
| 06/13/02 | Patrick Hall | Lind-you get more props than most guys because I've seen how much you drive your bus and its cool that you do. Your '63 was nice and I think it's a shame that it happened, but chill out a bit already. I live and love vintage buses but I'm sick and tired of the total negativity that comes off of some stock height bus Nazi's. Anyone who thinks that all lowered buses are impractical or uncomfortable needs to reinform themselves. |
| 06/13/02 | Tom Mink | Lind - Major bummer about your 23-window, that was a really nice bus. I'm glad you're ok, though. So how did it happen? |
| 06/13/02 | lind | hey patrick, go fuck yourself you stupid son-of-a-bitch |
| 06/13/02 | Sean | I can't remember the last time I saw a lowered bus OFF asphalt. So much for camping.... |
| 06/13/02 | Patrick Hall | I can't remember the last time a lowered bus rolled over.....hmmmmmm. |
| 06/12/02 | david benardo | Glad you are OK. What exactly happened? |
| 06/12/02 | lind | I rolled it over at 55mph. my co-pilot and myself survived, but the bus didn't |
| 06/11/02 | Mike | I just read what happened and I am glad you came out ok, sorry about the bus. |
| 06/11/02 | Mike | Yeah, It didn't get into an accident did it? Hopefully you mean the motor went south. |
| 06/11/02 | Thom | What was the "horrible death?" |
1958 Turbo Deluxe| Visitor Comments (Add your Comments) | ||

| 04/08/04 | Jim | Well that engine's had a bit of a tweek over the winter, and now has a new pair of bigger heads with more porting, a chargecooler, EFI & EMS. Boost presure will also be higher this year as well, so should make even more power than before. Should be interesting on the strip. Oh, and a new race strength gearbox to match the dyno output. |
| 09/23/02 | chels | hey there just wanting to know some more about the turbo set up, im relatively new to the vw world and im not a vw purist so tell us more about it cos i want to try and do somthing similar with the kombi i got recently, much appreciated from chels in oz |
