Subject:Sightings in Indy, More cup holders and Coolant Smell

For those of you in Vanagon saturated regions of the country pardon my post. In
the Midwest (Indiana) they are somewhat of an oddity often drawing long looks,
smiles and sometimes laughter from children ferried quickly down the highway in
their Soccer Mom's minivan.

I spotted two Vanagons on Saturday morning in Indianapolis. Coming off of I-465
onto Michigan Road a saw a Silver Vanagon and got an enthusiastic wave--enough
so to make me think they'd be on this list. A half mile later I spotted a white
Syncro Vanagon parked beside White Castle. Anyone... anyone... ?

I am going to post pictures of the cupholders I found at Pep Boys in Indy. The
base of the cupholders expands to fit within the dash console that is velcroed
to the ashtray. The uppper part of the cupholder expands and contracts to fit
different sized containers--as demonstrated in the photos I took. Don't think I
have ever seen these mentioned on the list. IMHO, I think they are more
functional than the folding kind I have seen mentioned. I will post these
pictures to www.geocities.com/cr_rowland, click on the "Tinkerbell" link to see
the pics.

I have a question about my '85 Westy, is it common to smell coolant when
running the rear heater? I never notice the smell any other time.

Thanks.
Chris
