They're no longer available. Several years ago, they were posted on the web for all to read. At one time, The Bus Depot was selling a CD with a ton of his sermons, but that was taken off the market.

From what I understand, Bob was getting to much grief from people who didn't agree with what he had to say. Which is too bad, because his sermons were an excellent source of real life repair & maintenance procedures/experiences.

You can find the Sermons here:
http://members.home.net/pbucha/vw.htm

The link is about 3/4 way down the page under "Bob Hoover's TULZ pages in text form" or something like that.

I've downloaded the Sermons and found them quite helpful - interesting tips and lots of justification for his opinions and advice.

That's Bob's more recent Tulz guides and they are very good.

His original sermons are no longer available though - there were HEAPS of article in that series - lots of funny stories (like rescuing Gretel - a type 2 - and getting her home), and a wealth of useful info from a guy who has been mucking about with VWs for more than 40 years.

Regards

thanks!!

Sorry to resurrect an old thread, but I was looking for this information also. This may be common knowledge, but it looks like a great deal of this material is located in Bob Hoovers blog site. It is a little hard to get to the exact material that you may be looking for because it is not indexed, but a lot of it is there.

bobhooversblog.blogspot.com

According to a note from Bob at the Type 2 site, he was apparently bummed out by a lot of anonymous negative and abusive comments which he received over a long period of time and removed a lot of the material from the internet. Too bad, because he has a lot of good information.
