Izinqola ezihamba phambili zolwandle ezitholakala e-Australia

UBruce Meyers wayesendleleni eya kwifomula eyawinayo ngenkathi edala inqola yokuqala yasebhishi ngo-1964.

"I-Dune buggy" noma, ngokwezinga elikhulu, "inkashi yolwandle" yase-Australia iyincazelo ebanzi kakhulu kulezi zinsuku. Ngaphezu kwegagasi elisha lezimoto zokungcebeleka ezihlala abantu abangabodwana nabakabili, kube nokuphikiswa okuningi okwenziwe ekhaya obekubhekwa njengezinambuzane zasebhishi iminyaka eminingi. Iningi lazo lalingamahlongandlebe, iningi lazo kwakuyizimoto ezihlekisayo, futhi zonke ziyingozi.

Kodwa uma ngempela ufuna ukubukeka okupholile kanye nento ejabulisayo yekalishi langempela lolwandle, sizobe sikhuluma ngomsebenzi womzimba we-fiberglass (wezinhlobo) ku-chassis yeVolkswagen epholile emoyeni. 

Akukhona nje ukuthi lezi zimoto zopopayi ziwukuhunyushwa kwasekuqaleni kombono wendawo yonke, i-minimalist, indlela yokuthutha engenamahosha, futhi zingashayela ngokusemthethweni emigwaqweni yase-Australia. Okuningi noma okuncane.

Indaba iqala ngeminyaka yawo-1960 ogwini oluseNtshonalanga ye-United States, lapho umsunguli, umdwebi, kanye nomshisekeli we-hot rod ogama lakhe linguBruce Meyers, phakathi kwezinye izinto, akha izikebhe ze-fiberglass. 

Wabona ukuthi umhlaba wosikompilo lokuntweza emanzini udinga imoto eshibhile, ejabulisayo, nesebenzayo ukuze ufike futhi ubuye ogwini, futhi ngalowo mqondo olula, kwasungulwa inqola yendunduma ye-Meyers Manx.

Umbono uvele usuka ku-chassis ophuma kanye owenziwe nguMeyers ukuze ajwayelanise ubukhenikha bakwaVolkswagen nekhithi yokuzenzela eyavele yabhampa kuyo yonke inkundla ye-VW ukuze yakhe imoto ye-fiberglass engenazicabha, isivikelo sezulu esincane, ukusebenza okwanele okungasiza. futhi kumnandi. kunombukiso wombuso. Futhi kusukela lapho, yonke inqola yendunduma esekelwe kwa-VW noma ikalishi lolwandle bekulokhu kuwumqondo ophusile kaMeyers. 

Umqondo wawuwukuthi uthenge ikhithi yomzimba ye-Manx (noma yiluphi uhlobo olwavela emncintiswaneni ngaleso sikhathi), wathola iVolkswagen Beetle eke yasetshenziswa, yakhumula i-VW endala, yafinyeza i-underbody ukuze izilinganiso zilungile, wabe eseyivala ngebhawudi . kukhithi ye-Manx, ehlanganisa umzimba webhavu, izinsimbi, amasondo namasondo, kanye nemishini eyisisekelo efana nesistimu yokukhipha umoya ukuze ifane nomzimba omusha. 

Uma ubungafuni ukufinyeza indawo engaphansi (ingxenye yobunjiniyela enzima kakhulu yoshintsho), ubungathenga nenguqulo enezihlalo ezine esebenzisa usayizi ogcwele we-VW ongaphansi.

Kungokwemvelo ukuthi abalandeli benqola bahambe kakhulu ngokufakelwa injini ye-V8, ukumiswa kwe-high-lift, amasondo amakhulu namathayi, kanye nezinye izinguquko ezinciphisa ubulula nokuthandeka komqondo wokuqala. 

Inqola yendunduma inehlelo lokulandela.

Kodwa ishiywe njengoba uMeyers ayecabanga, inqola yendunduma ilula, iyashesha, ithambile, ikwazi ukuhamba esihlabathini futhi ikujabulela ngempela ukushayela noma yikuphi. Inqobo nje uma lingakhithiki.

E-Australia, i-craze isisakazeke kakhulu, futhi lo mqondo usenabo abalandeli. Ngesikhathi sokudlondlobala kwakho konke (1970s), izinkampani eziningi zase-Australia zazikhiqiza ama-buggy kits. 

Amanye amagama awaziwa kancane namuhla, kodwa abathandi bezinqola bazowabona. I-Astrum, i-Manta, i-Taipan bekungezinye zemikhiqizo eqhudelana ngebhizinisi emakethe yezinqola zase-Australia.

Hhayi ukuthi ukukhetha kwakho kokuqala kokuhamba phakathi kwezifunda, kodwa okwenza ikalishi lolwandle lisebenze ukuthi lingabhaliswa futhi lishayelwe emgwaqeni. 

Nokho, lokho kuwumbono noma kunjalo, ngoba ukuba yingxube yezingxenye zeVolkswagen kanye nomsebenzi wepulasitiki we-aftermarket, akusoze kwaba lula kangako.

Ngama-70s, izinqola zasebhishi zazigcwele ulaka.

Isithiyo esisodwa ongasisusa uma wakha ikhithi entsha ukukhetha imodeli enezihlalo ezine esebenzisa inkundla ye-VW enosayizi ogcwele. 

Ngokususa isidingo sokufinyeza i-chassis, uzowudlula ngobunono umsebenzi omningi kanye nezithiyo ezinkulu zobuchwepheshe nesitifiketi ongahlangabezana nazo. 

Ezinye izifundazwe azibhalisi nhlobo inqola efushanisiwe, kuyilapho ezinye zidinga imvume ejulile yobunjiniyela. 

Noma ngabe uya kuphi, udinga ukuhlola izidingo zesifunda sakho kanye nendawo, futhi indlela engcono kakhulu yokwenza lokhu ukusebenzisa izinsiza zikanjiniyela obonisana naye, okuzodingeka ukuthi asayine umphumela wokugcina ngaphambi kokuba ubhaliswe. .

Noma ngabe umtholile unjiniyela ozolalela izinhlelo zakho, kunezinto ezingaxoxisana okungenzeka ukuthi bagcizelele kuzo. 

Uma usebenzisa injini enamandla kakhulu, amabhuleki e-Beetle ngeke alingane. Abakhi abahlakaniphile baphinde bafake uhlobo oluthile lokuvikela i-rollover (umbono omuhle wanoma iyiphi imoto evulekile), futhi amagajethi esimanje njengamabhande ezihlalo ahlehliswayo ayisengezo esihle kakhulu.

Iningi uma kungewona wonke ama-dune buggies asekelwe kuma-VW Beetles. (Ikhredithi yesithombe: Aussieveedubbers)

Iseluleko esingcono kakhulu ukuthola unjiniyela okholelwa ukuthi umbono wakho ungafezeka bese unamathela kuwo futhi uthathe izeluleko zakhe ngokungathi sína. 

Futhi thola lowo njiniyela ngaphambi kokuthi uthathe isikrufu sokuqala noma usebenzise idola lokuqala, ngoba akubona bonke onjiniyela abahumusha imithetho nemithethonqubo ngendlela efanayo nelandelayo. 

Ngisho noma uthola unjiniyela ozokunikeza ukukhanya okuluhlaza, qaphela ukuthi kuzodingeka ugxume phakathi kwamahhupu amaningi ukuze usebenzise ngokusemthethweni le nto emigwaqweni, nakho konke kusukela kuwindi lomoya elinama-laminated kuya kumadaka anengqondo. izidingo kuye ngokuthi uhlala kuphi. 

Ezimweni eziqine kakhulu, kungase kudingeke ukuthi ufake izinto eziningi zokulawula ukungcoliswa kwemvelo futhi mhlawumbe uphinde unjiniyela umphumela ukuze usebenzise uphethiloli ongenalo i-lead. Konke kuba nzima kakhulu.

Kungakho isisombululo sabaningi abathanda izinqola siwukuthenga imoto esetshenzisiwe esivele ibhalisiwe (futhi esemarekhodini esiphathimandla sokubhalisa). 

Ibizwa ngokuthi i-Manta, uhlaka lwe-fiberglass lumise okwe-manta ray. (Ikhredithi yesithombe: ClubVeeDub)

Izinto zazilula kakhulu ngeminyaka yawo-1970, okusho ukuthi kwakulula kakhulu ukubhalisa nokuklama imoto efana nekalishi lolwandle. 

Uma ungathola inqola esetshenzisiwe esabhalisiwe, uzoba nobunzima obuncane futhi udinga kuphela ukunikeza isitifiketi sokufaneleka ukuba semgwaqweni ezifundazweni nasezifundeni eziningi.

Lokhu, vele, isizathu esenza amanani enqola yasebhishi asetshenziswe phezulu kangaka. Kodwa uma kuqhathaniswa nobunzima nezindleko zokuqala kusukela ekuqaleni, ungase uthole ukuthi kusashibhile. 

Futhi uma wakha kusukela ekuqaleni, qala ngekhithi ehlanganisa imibhalo yezimvume eziyisisekelo zezobuchwepheshe iziphathimandla ezingakwazi ukuzihlola endleleni yokubhalisa.

Noma yimuphi umakhenikha wasekhaya onamakhono amaphakathi namathuluzi ezandla ayisisekelo kufanele akwazi ukuhlanganisa ikalishi ekhithi kanye ne-VW Beetle ephukile. 

I-bugle buggy, umzimba we-fiberglass ofakwe ku-chassis ye-Volkswagen kanye nenjini.

Akukho lutho oluyinkimbinkimbi noma oluyinkimbinkimbi mayelana nemininingwane eyakha ikalishi lolwandle, kodwa njengakunoma yini, ukuthatha isikhathi sakho nokubonisana nabantu obaziyo kuyindlela ehlakaniphile yokwenza iphrojekthi efana nalena.

Uma uhamba ngomzila wemoto esetshenzisiwe, ungakhathazeki kakhulu ngesimo sezingxenye eziwumshini. Izingxenye zebhungane ziqinile, zilula futhi kulula ukusebenza ngazo, futhi uma udinga ukuthuthukisa izingxenye noma ukuthuthukisa noma iyiphi ingxenye yokusebenza, cishe ayikho imoto yakudala enakekelwa kangcono kune-VW ethobekile.

Iphutha nje abantu abaningi abalenzayo ukuthi bacabange ukuthi ngoba nje iyimoto yepulasitiki enomakanika abasezingeni eliphansi, kuzoshibhile ukuyithenga. 

Iqiniso lihluke kakhulu, futhi intshisekelo yezimoto zakudala zazo zonke izinhlobo isanda kucindezela izintengo endaweni engashiwongo. 

Manje sekungenzeka ukuthi usebenzise u-$40,000 noma u-$50,000 kunqola ebhalisiwe yasebhishi esetshenzisiwe futhi ngisho nangaphezulu uma iyi-Meyers Manx ebuyiselwe, yangempela.

Kubikwa ukuthi iVolkswagen ihlanganyele nenkampani yezinkampani zangaphandle i-e.Go ukuze bakhe i-chassis eyingqayizivele nomsebenzi womzimba wokukhiqiza i-ID Buggy.

Basesekhona abahlinzeki abasaqhubeka nokwenza imizimba ye-fiberglass nezinye izinto, nakuba e-Australia umlando wale mboni uhlakazekile njengoba abadlali befika badlula. 

Ngaphandle kokungabaza, i-US iyindawo yokuthenga izingxenye ze-buggy kanye nezinsiza, kodwa ungalahli ukuhwebelana nezimakethe eziku-inthanethi.

Enye yezinto ezibaluleke kakhulu zenqola iphansi le-VW. Zijwayele ukugqwala (ikakhulukazi emotweni engenalo uphahla), ngakho hlola ngaphansi kwezihlalo naseduze kwebhokisi lebhethri ukuze uthole izimpawu zokubola, njengoba lokhu kungase kubulale iphrojekthi uma ungakakulungeli ukwenza ukulungiswa okukhulu. Njengoba isikebhe ngokwaso senziwe nge-fiberglass, kulula ukusihlanganisa nokulungisa.

Enye into okufanele uyibheke lapho uthenga izinqola zendunduma esezike zasetshenziswa kulezi zinsuku wumsebenzi. 

Ngenxa yokuthi zaklanywa njengekhithi yokuzenzela esibayeni ekhaya, izindinganiso zomsebenzi ziyahlukahluka kakhulu futhi lokhu kungaba nomthelela omkhulu ekushintsheni kwezimoto nokuphepha.
