  I’m not big on sentimentalism, but it’s cool that you’ve not forgotten the ole VW that has been as much of a character in your story as even yourself.

  Nothing beats a small offroad rig. no matter how comfy the sprinter is.

  I much prefer these VW Westfalia videos over your Sprinter Van ones. Thanks for bringing the old blue VW back

  It's nice to see the old VW again (the Sprinter is expensive and frankly didn't really hit me). I'm happy to be able to watch it again !!.

  Wish I still had my 1991 Westfalia.  Mine was 2WD, stock, new when I bought.  Nice layout inside.  Spent a lot of years camping and windsurfing in the Columbia River Gorge using this van.

  In 80's South Africa these VW Busses had a whole industry dedicated to fitting Ford V6 3litre engines to them for towing purposes. Later VWSA fitted an Audi derived 2.5 and later 2.6 5 cylinder engines along with many body upgrades including larger side windows. Beautiful busses and heart warming to see yours getting a new life! Well done!

  It's really nice to see your old van again! I know Sprinter is comfortable, but this VW has its own charm. Looking forward to watch another cool video soon! Cheers bud!

  That was an awesome engine swap video. LS swaps are all the rage these days but the popularity of diesel engines is growing in the off-road community because of the gobs of torque they produce. If you told someone that you could get 30% more torque & 26 mpg in a Vanagon they'd never believe it but you did it. Well done!

  The best of the old meets the best of the new, the T3 is my favourite Transporter and the Tdi is my favourite (VAG) engine we have a T5 with the 1.9 Tdi pd engine with a mere 140,000 miles which gives 34-36 mpg (imperial) which gives a range of 600 miles. Love the videos with the T3 in them 👍🏻🇬🇧

  The beauty of it is now you can run the diesel heater off the fuel tank. Nice!

  Awesome, so glad to see you back out in the Vanagon.  This is the reason I started watching you in the first place.
