take a bus, he assumed they meant VW not metro.  Seems to be
a fair bit of user error there.

I feel bad for the poor bastard who's van it was.

         Wow... somebody went to all the trouble of restoring a camper,
including an engine conversion, then handed the keys to this guy? That's
the villain of the piece, sentencing a fine piece of machinery to
mistreatment at the hands of the clueless...

         As for the guy telling the story, he'd be better off with a Kia
and a tent. ;-)
