The most beautiful T3 I've ever seen!

I have seen a lot of them, the VW transporters T1, T2 og T3. All variants and conditions the latest 10 years. But the T3 I saw in the Bussfest Meeting south of Jököping this summer is the really a diamond!

The car is owned by Nils. And I was so lucky to get known to Nils this summer. I got the story about his nice 1988 VW T3 Magnum. I would also call it a coach. But thsi car is so much more, it's also a multivan with about 300.000 km on the wheels. But you cannot see it: The Nils-T3 is completely restored (but Nils means that it is still some work to do, well, well)!

This T3 has the latest years been reconditioned to a seldom high standard; in some way better than "as new". The repainted original colour was professionally made, and very special.

And the engineroom was also very nice og wellworked. Nils (see picture above) had upgraded his T3 from a 1,6 TD JX-diesel engine to a 1,9 diesel engine.

Well, Nils. I write this words about your car as my special regard to you, and my readers outside Europe (yes, I have a lot of readers overside Europe and Norway). I do not know how much work you have done in this car and without any spesifications. But it does not matter; everyone can see that this is platina!

I really hope to see this car once again sometimes. Nils lives outside Kiel in Germany and he has invited me to a busmeeting there next spring (2012). I think that it should be possible to go to Germany. But let's talk about it later on.

Lokk at the pictures! Nice, eh?!?!?!?

Fisketur til fjells med T3 Westfalia

Helgen 30. og 31. juli ble det fjell- og fisketur i min 1988 T3 Westfalia. En herlig opplevelse!




Bilen går fint og inni skogen synes jeg den passer veldig fint inn. Med taket oppe, passer den jo fint inn mellom trærne.



Det var jo fint vær også, med sol. Det ble bålbrenning ved kanten av tjernet. Men noen fisk ble det ikke. Jo, forresten, det ble en liten fisk i Åsta-elva. Men den var jo så liten at vi satte den ut igjen etter forsiktig å ha fjernet fiskekroken i kjeften på små'en. Men i fiskevannene var det dårlig "bett". Så den ble med "småen".




Men en fin tur ble det med overnatting i en gammel VW-buss.
