This is a great fixer up car, I've driven it for three years without issue. I've put new tires, brakes, shocks, batter, over those years. When it was time to renew its inspection last year it would not pass. My local service shop said it needed O2 sensors but "they didn't know if it would cure it". I really needed a new car for work so I decided not to chase it and just go for a new car. I then was lazy and the car has sat all winter. I went out this weekend to do a quick clean, take a couple pics, and sell it. It started first shot but is still not running perfect. This is definately a great car for someone with a good mechanic or who is mechanical. It has very low mileage and I'm confident will run for a very long time.
Here are my known issues:
O2 sensor/issue, seems to me like it's not quite running on 4 cylindars and has kind of a gas odor from exhaust.
leaks anti-freeze from somewhere near the radiator..I never chased it because it was mild and random, just carried water with me in case it acted up or ran low. I never drove more than a couple miles at a shot.
Paint is good but lots of little dings and dents.
One more time so no one is confused...it won't pass NY state inspection as it sits.

Touring the Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg
Mon, 23 Sep 2013Forgive the ribbon up top - this isn't so much of a Read This as a Look At This. Ran When Parked took a tour of the sprawling Volkswagen Museum in Wolfsburg, and while there's a spot of text about the different and unique vehicles on display in the rotating exhibits, it's largely the collection of pictures of odd, one-off VW-badged cars and vans that excites. If you're a fan of the weird and wild, this is a post you'll want to look at.
As RWP points out, this is the larger, but less busy, museum targeted purely at Volkswagen products. The smaller AutoStadt museum, meanwhile, covers a much broader swath, with products from other Volkswagen Group members. Click on over to view the extensive gallery of high-quality images from Ran When Parked.

Volkswagen Group names Paefgen head of classics program
Tue, 04 Oct 2011You may remember the name Franz-Josef Paefgen. Until recently, the German engineer and executive was head of both Bentley and Bugatti. Before that he was chief executive of Audi, after working for several years at Ford. He technically "retired" earlier this year, but like the cars he helped create, an executive like Paefgen could never really retire. So it should come as little surprise that the Volkswagen Group has named Dr. Paefgen head of its Classic program.
In his new capacity, Paefgen will oversee the historic automobile activities of the entire VW Group, including those of Volkswagen, Seat, Skoda, Audi, Lamborghini, and of course Bentley and Bugatti. It strikes us as a suitable semi-retirement for the man responsible in no small part for the Bugatti Veyron and Bentley Mulsanne, to name just two, and who was decorated in 2006 by the ACO as the "Spirit of Le Mans" for his contribution to endurance racing. Read the official announcement after the break.
