Getting an old bug or, even better, bus engine to go that far is a real feat. Any of you notice VW's recent advertising pitch for their new "vanagon" with the water-cooled engine? As the owner of a REAL bus I just got a glossy brochure in which VW extols the virtues its water-cooled engine: it lasts longer, run quieter, and-- mirabile dictu-- provides real heat to the passengers! Apparently this is the engineering breakthrough of the 80's for VW. :-)
