Are you in search of something diffrent in the aircooled world?

What about a Rentsch?

You don't know Rentsch...I also didn't till now... But I just found this agricultural vehicle with a flat four engine on ricardo for sale. The bit for the moment is at 501 sFr...

Tossa de mar

2010-10-13T21:25:00.003+02:00

Now I'm back from our trip to France and Spain.

Unfortunatly, we where not without some technical problems on the road. To the tyrerubbing in front we get used quickly, the car was quit charged, but just a day before we started our return journey, the right rear wheel bearing started to quit his service. So we started our 1000km trip back home with a half broken wheel bearing. But that was not enought, arround Monpellier, one side of the csp-exhaust fall down to the ground because of a crushed mounting bracket and the exhoust get damaged. But the ragtop still carried us home safe.

In Spain we visited the aircooled meeting at Tossa de Mar. It was quite nice intressting, but, unfortunatly, the organisation was not on the top and we missed some of the activities just because we didn't know, when and where they took place.

All in all, we had a good time and we enjoyed it a lot!

safe back home

My ragtop passed the technical the second time and of course I registrated it immediatley. What a greate pleasure driving my bug again after more then five years.

And the first thing I have done, what a surprise, I lowered it more in the front...:-)))

A friend brought me my ragtop back from his garage, where we ajusted the steering recently. And because he bought my variant, he took it to its new home.

2010-07-06T11:36:00.003+02:00

I went to the technical control yesterday with my '60 ragtop. Actually I was quit lucky and had a good expert and he didn't search every detail that could be wrong. The rear shock absorber didn't work properly, the rear was to low, but that will probably be accepted and the steering was not good enought but that was actualy not a surprise and that I will put in order now. It's honestly almost undrivebel...

Only realy bad news was, that I have the next possibility to show the bug only on 28th of july...

Today I picked up the ragtop from the body shop. All necessary weldings are done now.

But the earliest appointement i got for the technikel control is on the 5th of july!!! So, i have to go to the next two meetings with the polo...what a mess!

And with the steering I'm not happy as well, the bug has to go back to the specialist who ajusted the steeringsetup previously.

clean-up day

2010-05-28T16:35:00.004+02:00

I cleand the interior a bit today, so that's clean enought for the expert at the MfK.

Now the bug is waiting to go to the body shop to get some minor rustrepair. Unfortunatly, I will probably have to wait more than a week to go there...this are bad news for me, but, hopefully, with some luck, he will have time next week...we will see.

on both innerwings in the front, rust start to appeare.

the low quality repro bonnet is broken at the hinge, so needs a repair there too.

Today I could finaly start up the engine again and, of corse, I went for a short drive on a back road. I can't wait to have it back on the road. Next week there's some small stuff to fix and if everything goes well, at the end of the week I can make an appointment for the MfK.

I even had some spectators...they were probably impressed of the sound of the engine...:-)))

So, I changed to the old lights, but at least I can blinking on the stoplights like the american cars do.
