I have been a list member for several years, as well.

A few list members have stopped by over the years. Many non-members have
also stopped. People can usually see the VW vans and trucks behind my barn
and house when they go by on the state route that I live on. Several folks
have stopped after they have encountered problems with their own van,
thinking that I MUST be an expert on water-cooled VW vans, and maybe I
would be able to help them (there has been as many as 14 Vans and
doublecabs here - all mine). Indeed, some I have helped. A few times, the
local tow truck drivers will direct a wayward van owner my way after their
VW van or bus has broken down, usually on Interstate 90, which is nearby.
Always glad to help when I can.

Having bought and sold several Vans and doublecabs over the years, some of
the transactions with List members, a few long-lasting great friendships
have developed. Everyone who I have sold a VW to has turned out to be good
people (only one major jerk is the exception).

Anyway, anyone going through Northwest Pennsylvania is welcome to stop by.
There are 11 acres of backyard behind the house, overlooking Lake Erie and
occassionally we've played hosts to overnight VW "campers".
