Just got back from New Mexico.  1933 miles in 5 days.  Whew!  Wolfgang (my
85 Westy - 165k miles on original engine) carried me swiftly and surely down
and back to KC, even taking me to the near 10,000 foot summit of Sacramento
Peak without missing a beat!  I could not be more pleased.  (See -- Vanagons
don't necessarily have problems everytime you start them up!)

I'll let you know when I update my web site with the photos.

Meanwhile, when I returned, I found this in my inbox.  Can anyone help out
Leaf?
