Slow Car Fix

Augtoberfest bug event. Lots of neat VW's

I've had this little guy over a month, and haven't really posted anything, but I'm enjoying it a lot. I was going to make a video about it, but haven't really been feeling it lately. Lots going on, but I'm happy to add this to the fleet. It will see year round use.

Details - It's a 2004 Daihatsu Hijet imported from Japan, by a very nice gentleman who does it regularly. It's 4wd and has diff lock, it's fuel injected, power steering and has air conditioning! It has a power dump bed, mini Cooper 15" wheels and a manual transmission. It's right hand drive, and not very fast. It's 660 cc and I believe it to be around 58hp. It's top speed is around 110km/h but it likes to cruise at 90ish. It's quite comfy.

Always great to visit here.

This is a first; valet parked the '57. The gentlemen parking said "that don't drive how it look" 🤣

Comfy cruising.

Loaded up and on the road, not the trip we expected, but we're glad to get away and cruise 650km each way.

New old wheel for Slow bug. I'm really enjoying this little car.

Approximately 800km on Slow bug this past weekend and it was great! Always improvements to be made but I am really enjoying this little car. It's great fun.
