I Sold, well actually traded, my Vanagon today.  As we speak it is heading southbound on I-75 toward its new home in Alabama. This move leaves me watercooled-free.  So I will be signing off this list for awhile until (if ever) I get another water cooled van.  UNtil then, see you on the air-cooled lists!
Thanks to those of you who helped me out on occasion with my Vanagon questions, and to those of you who were "not amused" by my occasionally twisted since of humor and sarcasm, well, to you I say "Go work on your van, and relieve some of that anxiety!"
I would like to part with these words that sum up my frustration with water cooleds, "Carburators and manual chokes FOREVER!, Fuel injection and Electronic control unit thing-a-ma-bobbies NEVER!!"
Peace All, see you on the aircooled lists,
John Baker
