VW adventures-Almighty breakdown

I think all the VW bus, when they are created, are designed to explode in flames at least once in their lives long. Seems to be a design flaw with the fuel filter be right on the Distributor. The boy, the Germans have a sense of humor don't they? I'm not sure if this design is that the guys out there can beat there chest, track down on her knees and prove that they really can rebuild an engine.

Everyone who ever met told me are the VW as easy to work. "Four screws and you can drop the entire engine." Loosen the engine? Where? In my head, I'm trying to get out of the way? So what the hell should I do with it. I can turn a wrench with the best of them. I can take stuff apart without any problem, it is to get them back together that is the problem. Spare parts are a bad thing, I'm sure.

Recently I had two zip ties holding carburetor Lilly on the engine. Sure wasn't good. Like all VW owners carry spare bus, which includes white Goo, pulleys, coat hangers, zip ties, a screwdriver and a hammer in the case of frustration Gets intense. My hope is that if I have a horrible discrimination some VW type guy will stop and get me back on the road. I know that I'm taking a chance, but it is all I have.

Oh and then there are the fire extinguisher. Save it in the back of the bus. I'm sure that won't be of much help unless the heat and flames of fire cause it to burst. I'm not quite sure how to use anyway, but may not be rocket science right? I'll need to move it to the front near me for future use. I started the habit of checking in my rearview mirror to smoke billowing. This is a first for me.

Lilly Burst ablaze five years before I have it. The guy who owned it told me that they had it out in a pasture, it backfired and caught fire in the grass, and then it spread to your engine. Really? Firstly, what she was doing in the field? Secondly, if your engine was running because they didn't get it out of the way? Something seems fishy. Why not just say, hey I was driving, stopped at a traffic light and she exploded in flames. Now that is believable. Well, sometimes the truth is weirder then fiction.

Paint Lilly was bubbling on back, so I took a spackle knife and spray paint to her so that she is not looking too bad now. I'm in the process of paint stains. She is red, then it will be something like a ladybug great when she is done. Has painted eyelashes on it so this is just the next step in its metamorphosis.

These are the adventures of Lilly, my VW bus, my dog and me touring Tootie.
