If anyone else feels as strongly as John about the Vanagon seats, I have a
pair of front seats from an early Westy that I would love to sell. I will
entertain any and all offers. I don't want to just throw these seats away,
but they are taking up space in my garage. By the way, I live in Austin,
Texas, so figure in shipping or a drive to meet me.

Cheers,
Bruce
