Since VW's and diesels are among the car topics that sometimes cross  
this list I thought to pass on this chunk of news:

In conjunction with the launch of the '08 Jetta Bluetec diesel this  
week at the Washington,  D.C., auto show, VW says it's searching for  
two significant vehicles from its  U.S. past. Specifically, the brand  
wants to find the oldest running Volkswagen diesel and the VW diesel  
with the highest accumulated mileage.

The highest-mileage car will be verified with odometer readings and  
service records. In both cases, the original engines must be in the  
vehicles. Winners of each category will get the use of a 2007 VW  
Touareg V10 TDI for six months.

Volkswagen's urging owners to sign up for the competitions on  
www.vw.com, where they will be asked to fill out information and send  
in a picture. Owners will be asked to take vehicles to dealers to  
verify mileage and age.
