Forgot to read these comments...
The engine...Hey,<br /><br />Forgot to read these comments...<br /><br />The engine is the classic 1,200 cc with 34 hp - single port. I haven't done anything to the motor except installing an electronic ignition system and using just fully synthetic motor oil as well as gear fluid. I go about 50 mph while pulling the trailer on the highway.<br /><br />Any further questions?<br />See herbiesworldtour.com!<br /><br />Air-cooled regards, Domi ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-14426146460045813742012-09-17T18:18:44.179-06:002012-09-17T18:18:44.179-06:00Not a viral email and Photoshop.

I owned a few VW's in my time , they only have 34 hp .... the newer ones only had 50 hp motors.<br />No way that you can get that bug to tow a 750 lbs trailer 20,000+ miles around USA and europe. It still only comes out to less then 20 miles per day over 4 years...but no way the clutch and tyranny would take the abuse. maybe the top speed is only 30 mph on the back roads - its impossible to pull 55 on the highway or make it over 3% grade hills.<br /><br />something smells a little fishy OverTheTopCargoTrailerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14389472439348784845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-78967041823163604172012-06-01T20:02:10.465-06:002012-06-01T20:02:10.465-06:00Been a long time since that conversation with Domi...Been a long time since that conversation with Domi and Zainab, but I seem to recall that they used Walmart parking lots many times. Additionally with the unusual VW bug and small trailer combination they were an exotic novelty that allowed them to park where most RVers would not be allowed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13311083597294672388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-82410204649367759362012-06-01T15:53:21.744-06:002012-06-01T15:53:21.744-06:00" they have been able to travel the US for mo..." they have been able to travel the US for most of a year without paying camping fees but for one night"<br /><br />.... any theories as to how they accomplished that?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4565671130289537623.post-26930446506166065772011-02-20T12:27:00.283-07:002011-02-20T12:27:00.283-07:00I past them on the 14 in Acton, Ca on Friday, and ...I past them on the 14 in Acton, Ca on Friday, and saw them parked in Lancaster, Ca yesterday. I briefly talked to him and told him good luck. I think this is very cool.
