The Tunisian National Automobile Club and a group of old Volkswagen beetle aficionados organized a rally in Tunisia from December 17 to 19, 2009.
Ten vehicles, type ranging from the VW 1200, 1300, 1302 and 1303, registered in Tunisia, crossed some 1,200 miles through the governorates of Tunis, Kairouan, Sfax, Sousse, Gabes, Tozeur , Médenine, Gafsa.
I cannot say that I know the climate of Tunisia, but the rally’s logo of a camel and palm tree gives a hint. I do wonder how the air cooled engine does in hot, long trips (1200 miles).
