Hi gang,
57---but perhaps in better shape than my Westies.
My wife (a very pretty 45-year-old) and I bought our first Westy (an
'88) in 1991. We've taken it on ski, kayak, diving and bodysurfing
adventures all over the western US, western Canada and Baja California.
We bought a second Westy (an '87) in 2002, so that we would always have
at least one in good shape for traveling.
Between trips, we are lucky to call stunning Lake Tahoe (in northern
California) our home.
     We'd love to meet more of you who are out there on the list. If you
live within 150 miles of us (or if you are traveling through our area),
we hope you'll get in touch. Maybe we can have you over for a meal---or
offer you a place to spend the night. Maybe we can even go adventuring
together!
    Thanks to everyone for all the help your posts have given us. Long
live the Vanagon list!
