Dave,
    Don't give up your day job.   Good piece of
footage.   I have included the url for downloading
quicktime for windows.   If you want to see Dave's
movie, you may need this.  When you install it take
care not to change your folder associations from your
windows media player if you have one.
great little movie dave, thanks gary

Hey Folks,

Six weeks ago I was watching 'police chases' on the FX
channel when I
caught
a glimpse of a Vanagon just before the commercial
break. It was
featured in
the 'coming up next' clip.

All I could do was grab my digi cam to record the
footage off the t.v.
screen (sorry for the poor quality).

What I saw next was horrifying. It was hard not to
cry. Looks like VW &
Europe putting our lovely crew cabs through the ringer
for highway
safety.

I've taken the footage, and threw together a quick
lil' memorial in
honor of
our lovely Vanagons (and one Porsche. seemed
appropriate). This not for
the
faint of heart.

Movies can be viewed/downloaded at:

I've posted the movie for all to see on my web space.
It's about 4 mb.
I
hope it's not too slow. It was made with iMovie on a
Mac. Might need
QuickTime to view it. I don't have a PC and haven't
been able to test
it for
windows.
