This is a secondary storage site for Rob and Dave's Aircooled Volkswagen Pages. Our Web page has been so popular (thanks, folks!) that we keep exceeding the geocities download limits for free sites, and we're resisting their offers to purchase a paid-for site by splitting the main site.
This site will initially store the 1966 Owner's Manual pictures, since this has been the largest download element from the main site. If this technique doesn't prevent the "you're too popular so we are shutting you down for a few days" messages I keep getting, then we'll have to consider moving the site altogether.
Rob was fortunate enough to make a friend recently who had just acquired a rather rough-looking Beetle, but surprisingly the original wallet with Owner’s Manual and service record were intact and in very good condition. We met first through one of the VW information forums (the server is in the UK), and we were delighted to find that we both lived in Adelaide, Australia -- and then more surprisingly he moved to a new job which happened to be around the corner from my office. The world of VW’s is full of surprises.
This manual is from an Australian version VW beetle, despite the left-hand drive pictures in the car (Australia is right-hand drive), so there may be some slight differences in equipment levels, and description of components compared to other countries, but these will be quite minor if they exist at all.
Be warned - each of the 79 .jpg files is large - of between 50and 100kb each (one for each page of the manual), and there is one very large .gif file (the cutaway picture) of 248kb. Download time may be a few minutes for each file, depending on your connection speed.

Hope you find all these useful.
