MAN-based RV is $900,000 of Unchecked Aggression

Sometimes it’s easy to forget just how far the Volkswagen Group’s reach is.  Part of Volkswagen Truck and Bus GmbH, the MAN brand has made its name as one of the most popular haulers in Europe, and as such they’re quite popular to use as bases for dump trucks, garbage trucks, and even RVs.  Austria-based Action Mobil has clearly seen the potential in these trucks as well, taking one of their six-wheeled trucks and making quite possibly the most rugged RV that we’ve ever seen.

So what exactly do you get for nearly a million dollars?  Well, there’s 23 square feet of living space, a washer, a dryer, a kitchenette, satellite television, and all the comforts of home.  What you’re really paying for is the go-anywhere capability of the truck.  Massive off-road tires, a hydraulic lift system for your motorcycle, rugged side-mounted storage pods, and a lithium-ion energy system all ensure that you’re never left stranded.  Check out the promotional video below for more.

Not only were these moves all strange, I’m sure that they made VW’s accountants furious. None of them made good business sense, but they were all deeply interesting and they all are evidence of the heart that beats at the center of VW. Among these follies is the CC, a car that everyone agrees is rakishly handsome, but that no one really wanted to buy. The car couldn’t last, but the world is brighter for its having been in it. With the approach debut of the Arteon, it seems like a good time to look back on its sadly departing predecessor. The version I drove, because I live in Canada, is a V6 Wolfsburg Edition, which apparently isn’t available in the States. Nor is the V6, not as...

Waterfest Moves to Atco Dragway

Waterfest 24 will be held at Atco Dragway, in Atco, New Jersey. The summer event will take place at its new venue on July 21 and 22. Long held in Englishtown, New Jersey, the festival has been such a large part of the VW scene that the latest iteration of the Golf even comes with optional “Englishtown” wheels . The new venue, however, is an NHRA drag track a scant 52 miles southwest of Englishtown. The ¼ mile drag track opened in 1960, which makes it the oldest drag strip in New Jersey. The announcement came today on a social media post that announced the new location. Waterfest is North America’s largest VW/Audi show. As many 20,000 people show up for the annual show, making the second largest show in the world—with Worthersee being number one. 2018 will be Waterfest’s 24 th year in existence.
