Dear Chris,

I'll be sure to let you know how fast my chipped, TDI-powered, Syncro Westy
can go up that same hill!!! ;)

Went running this morning.  Interesting thing happened.  On my final mile of
my 4-mile run I came upon a hill.  I gave it all I had.  Sweat beaded up on
my forehead,  my breath became chronically short and I panted like a monkey
in heat BUT... I still managed to pass that Diesel Westfalia that too, was
giving it all it could with the go pedal resolutely floored, exhaust spewing
black smoke and the transmission in first gear.

IT'S FRIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
