Subject: That $20 Westy on Ebay/what a story:little real vanagon content

The short of it is it was the guy's daughter's Westy, her "pride and joy".
The engine needed to be replaced and he purchsed a used engine--I think
after spending for a poorly rebuilt unit that also blew. While the Westy was
being towed on a trialer to a place for repair by the same guy's Toyota Land
Cruiser, the kid driving the guy's Toyota went too fast and flipped both the
Westy and the Toyota...

There is no way that a Land Cruiser towing a Vanagon was going too fast.
They won't go too fast not towing a Vanagon!

My motto: speed kills, but a Land Cruiser.  Or a Vanagon.
