DOVW

21

With, regret, I report the passing of Warren Chapman in the US , one of the world’s luminaries in the T3 VW world. 

 

Warren ran the Subaruvanagon website and was legendary in being a mine of information in the matter of fitting Subaru engines to the T3.  The amount of time he spent helping people is probably unparalleled.  Warren planned to acquire a Syncro so that he could get to his favourite fly fishing spots but he didn’t make it.  He knew that he had cancer and that time was running out, but this did not impede him.  He was helping others up to the end.

 

Warren Chapman was greatly respected and will be greatly missed.

(PS: it was Warren who first posted the information on the self-settling of the front diff position to eliminate drive shaft vibrations.)

RIP Warren Chapman.

We have been formally invited to participate in the 60th anniversary DOTVW on 15 November at Cranbourne Racecourse.

 

The VW Club of Victoria is nearly as old, by the way.  Can’t think exactly how old, but Brian can tell us because he is vice president of the club.

Mark,

 

You would have to enquire locally.  This event has been run in Victoria by the VW Club of Victoria for a long time, at least 30 years that I know of. 

 

There is a VW Club in West Australia (see www.vwclub.asn.au/) and I suggest you start from there.

Who else is going to DOVW?
28

Phill,

 

So far we have:

  • Mark Kofahl
  • Gary Cookson
  • Roger bell
  • Theo Weiss

 

It is six Sundays away but it is always hard to get responses until there is just a few weeks to go.  This makes it very hard to justify getting a big space allocation..

Hartmut,

 

Great news – and please try to bring Elke.  She, after all, was the actual correspondent on the group until you finally got your act together and began to write your own posts.

Michael,

 

Thanks and your Dad is always more than welcome, particularly given that he built his own successful LPG system for a T3.
