pensioner,

First off it's spelled either Pilipino by the natives, and Filipino by most
Engrish spaykers.

Second I've met that woman and I can't believe her feet are that big. Then
again I was 13-14 at the time. Oh yeah Esmeralda's real name is Imelda. She
had a shoe fetish not much different from my first ex. My ex felt she had to
buy a shoe at least once a week rain or shine. Go figure. She's not even
Filipino (or Filipina to those who really know how to use the term). French
Canadian born in Boston, she was.

Thirdly Vanagon Projekt seems to be alive and well in Livermore.

<< My supplier refused to give me back my old wheels claiming they were "just
gone".>>

Where'd you get them from? One vendor you were dealing with is trying to get
a hold of you for credit to you account. Says he lost your number. Apparently
not the same vendor who stole your wheels because I asked him. AT least I
hope not since I refer people to these guys al the time.

Last thing, my baby (Atilla the van) wears Stuttgart shoes.
