Thanks Donna!
    It's great to hear from other women out there.  It's reassuring to be a part of this great list, but that's a lot of testosterone swiriling around.  These guys are great, and I'd be lost without their help.  I'll try your suggestion.
    I have tried the lists you suggested, and hope they're current.  Would you like to stay in contact and exchange VW infor and garage tips?  I take it you also live outside the greater BA?  I'm up in the redwoods, but always enjoy an excuse to come down for a dose of foreign films, bookstores, and sushi.
     I'll be preparing Hester for another trip to Mexico soon, so finding a guru I trust before then is critical.  Hope you stay in touch. 
                                                    Good luck w/ Lola-Lola.

                                                            Phaedra
