Any VW Fanatics here??

On top of the Coroporate HQ building in Wolfsburg, Germany is the original VW logo emblem. Does anybody know the following about it.

Diameter?
Reason of that Diameter?

Tchuss,
Felix

Yes, a recycled beer can. If you scrape the paint off, you'll see Budweiser. :D

I just learned the last original bug factory in Mexico City is being converting to produce the new Bug. I was suprised to learn it had continued to be manufactured up until this year. Long live the love bug! :D

VW = VolksWagen ;)

A German car company, which IIRC, was taken over by some other car company! [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Long live the voltage wagon :D I have had many of these ranging from a 68 kombi bus to to 74 super beetle. I also owned a herbie ;) which sadly was rear ended and then slamned into a wall, crushing the front and rear at the same time :( I revived it into a baja bug, since it was cheaper then buying the new fenders and other parts, slapped a type IV 2100 cc engine to it and left bigger faster 4x4's in my ruts :D was a site to see. After 6 years of fun and abuse I had to finally part with the ole car and now drive something with real air conditioning. As for the original question, I have no idea, I should but I dont.

OK we are waiting for the answer....... [img]graemlins/sleeping.gif[/img]

J/K ;)

Yes, correct. A car company.
Wrong, it is not made out of recycled buttwiper cans, Bubba ain't smart enough to figure out which end to open!
Correct, the Mexican plant has produced the old school beetle until this year.
Wrong, VW has not been bought out. You are thinking of Lamborghini, Seat, Skoda, Audi, and Bently, which all now fall under the VW corporation.
I keep forgetting the rest of the world has bubba the drunk driving the pick-up truck with the youngens in the back, so they have speed limits and such. Over here it's nothing to see, myself included, VW's running in excess of 200 KPH, (that would be about 135 MPH for you buttwiper drinkers) on the A-bahn.

The answer
8 m, that would be 26 feet for bubba.
The turning radius of the original VW Beetle.

<font color=orange>We had a '73 yellow bug convertable up until 3 years ago. It had the electrical system updated and the Engine was to Porshe specs. That little dude would go!!! It was loud to. The people we bought it from had it featured on the Cover of some VW magazine. Sadly it became a luxury so we sold it. It was fun though.

As for the question at the beginning of this topic, I haven't a clue.</font>

You don't know what VW stands for? You mean you never saw the advert where they called it a Vee Dubyah, twas very weird and made it seem like an alien abduction thing and then it turned out to be a car so I didn't like the advert any more [img]tongue.gif[/img] .

And by the way from one Felix to an imposter, i mean other, I dont see why we should be refferred to as Bubba just because we don't give a damn about these cars... back in the day I might get offended but I can't be bothered with being banned etc, for replying in a not so nice way.

I mean come on, 135 MPH? Buy a GSXR 1300 or Hayabusa and have some 200 MPH fun.

I was wondering when and if the person who registered 8 months after was ever gonna end up within the same topic. So, you are like, uhm proud to be an imposter?

300 KPH on the autobahn is not really what it's thought to be. If you live, you will be charged with the whole accident (excess speed), and since the wall came down and tourism came up. There are way too many idiots driving now. I was brought up that the left lane is for passing, and if he flashes, (even at 3 k's behind you, you need to move) and not to be a lane hog. Any day on the bahn you will find some "jack" who thinks he is the "man" running less than 160 Ks hogging the left lane. And to top it off, the law recently changed that if you get rear ended in the left lane, it is no longer solely your fault, both parties will be charged equally! And, the minimum speed is now 100 KPH roughly 60 MPH. So, needless to say, even bubba can drive the bahn now.

Bubbas aside, I have driven in Germany twice, I think. I quickly discovered that I am not a left-lane kind of guy, even though I enjoy driving fast. Give me six months, and I'd be up there comfortably, but I was happy putt-putting along at a moderate 160 kph in the right lane, being passed by milk trucks :D

And to close the loop, the VW plant in Mexico will stop making Bugs at the end of the month, I believe. VW is ending the product line.

Lamborghini is owned by VW?

*pauses*
