Wow! You can do better. Mogaji is not your average inexperienced or poorly educated Nairalander. He certainly doesn't comment frivolously.

So as bad as Hitler was he has a legacy that affected the commoner positively, in Nigeria what legacy can we give to buhari other than fuel increment, fall of our dear naira, total lack of value for human being etc. May God save Nigeria from enemy within.

It was the desperation of the WWII that gave birth to Bettle. Hitler enemies zone was a highly temperate zone, causing over heat to most German automobile then. Hitler allegedly give a 21 Days altimatum to his engineers to build him car that will not use a Radiator.

I drove my father's beetle into his shop grin..... Door and wall came crashing on the car and it only has cosmetic damages. Not a single bent or broken body parts. I love the beetle.

One advice Bros..... It is folly to live in Rome and strive with the pope. With what you've written so far though, I'm not sure you'll comprehend.

I thought you said that you were too busy? wink

My challenge still stands, write one coherent sentence. Just one.

The Mazda RX7 and RX8 have no cylinders, yes none, and they both use dual factory exhausts.

See your uneducated life outside now?

Ehn, egbon. What do you mean by no cylinders? As in electric or what

Re: 10 Facts About Volkswagen Beetle You Probably Never Knew by nams77: 10:26am On Jun 09, 2018
Seeing this write up brings back nostalgic memories. I remembered when my dad used to come pick us after school some evenings. The first family car we ever had before the Peugeot 505 and the Benzs.
Remembered travelling from warri to the east with my uncle in his beetle then as a starry-eyed little boy going to the villa after writing my junior waec exam. How time flies. I will do anything to have a pimped version of the beetle that was customized by the crews of pi.mp my ride. It was so badass. Let me run thru the net to see if I can see it


Couldn't find the one I was looking for but I saw this

I'm glad that you asked grin

Mazda R vehicles, such as RX2, RX3, RX7, and RX8 uses rotary engine as designed by Herr Dokkter Wankel (not self-servicer) grin





A rotary engine doesn't have cylinder head, valves, pistons, etc like we do in "normal" engines.

If you ever have a chance to get a ride in a well sorted RX vehicle please take it. You'll be amazed about the quietness, vibration free, smoothness, power and grace of the powerplant.


I miss my 3 RX7's sad
