Topic: Baja bug


  
  Baja Bug - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The term Baja Bug generally refers to a Volkswagen Beetle modified to operate on sand dunes and beaches, although other versions of air-cooled Volkswagens are sometimes modified as well.
Baja Bugs originated in Southern California in the early 1970s as an inexpensive answer to the successful, Volkswagen-based dune buggies of the mid-1960s, especially the Meyers Manx.
Though Baja Bugs have been greatly supplanted in recent years by tube-framed, purpose-built buggies known as sand rails, due to the slowly dwindling supply of suitable donor cars, they remain a popular choice in desert regions as few beaches in the US are open to vehicular traffic.

 Baja 1000 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Baja 1000 is an off-road race that takes place on Mexico's Baja California Peninsula in the month of November.
From 1967 to 1973 the race was organized by the National Off Road Racing Association (NORRA); however, in 1974, the government denied NORRA permission to hold the race, and the fuel crisis of 1974 forced the race to be removed from the off-road racing schedule.
In 1975, SCORE International, with sponsorship by Tecate beer, resumed the Baja as a loop course race with the start-finish line in Ensenada, and in 1979, SCORE was able to resume racing on the legendary 1,000 mile course to La Paz, as they have intermittently raced on the 1,000 every three to four years.

 Volkswagen Beetle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Volkswagen Type 1, more commonly known as the Beetle, Fusca, Coccinelle or Cox, Vocho(Spanish), Bug, Volky or Käfer (German), Escarabajo (beetle in (Spanish) is an economy car produced by the German automaker Volkswagen from 1938 until 2003.
Although the names "Beetle" and "Bug" were quickly adopted by the public, it was not until August of 1967 that VW themselves began using the name Beetle in marketing materials.
It had previously been known only as either the "Type I" or as the 1200 (twelve-hundred), 1300 (thirteen-hundred) or 1500 (fifteen-hundred), which had been the names under which the vehicle was marketed in Europe prior to 1967; the numbers denoted the vehicle's engine size in cubic centimetres.
