         The TURD will be making it's triumphant return to the Show Circuit
this weekend!  That's right, the rattiest Vanagon in the world with the
strangest wiring, inverters, and even full solar power will be proudly
displayed.  Stop by and say hello.

For those who are wondering how to spot a T.U.R.D.  Look for a light brown
(not beige) '82 Westy with a filthy, fuzzy top, seem rust, belt rust, rusty
hubcap or 2, and proudly showing all 350k miles.  The plethora of stickers
on the back may give it away as well.

The scarry part is I'm not a kid.  At 36 I should know better!
