vw dream

I had another dream...I had traded someone an old bus body for an engine - what I understood to be a new diesel engine. I had mounted it on the back of some old buggy frame -like a vw pan with cheap, homemade rollbars...i was cranking it to try and start it and for some reason I could see down the center of the engine - as if it were a tube of some kind. It began to build compression and some smoke began to come out of the center of the engine...It finally fired up and ran very smooth...i remember moving quickly to work the accel pedal to rev it and keep it running. I got all excited about having a powerful, reliable engine and then i realized i hadn't figured out how to cool it...after i started thinking about the radiator setup I got discouraged.

Wierd how VW stuff permeates my being...my old bus sits in the yard taunting me - it hasn't been run in a couple weeks... I need to get out there and play with it...
