Gypsy is gone...So sorry to hear that, Deb. Gave me that sinking feeling in my gut. Glad you and your animals are OK. My condolences for your loss.

  Subject: [vanagon_club] Gypsy is gone...

  Gypsy burned to the ground at 6:00 this morning - her engine caught on fire as I was driving to work, I noticed flames spewing out the back in my side view mirror - thought she was a race car for a moment!

  She's totally gutted, pop top melted, windows broken by the fire department.  I was able to salvage most of my search and rescue gear - the cabinets protected it.  I am thankful that my dogs were not with me, their crate area is right over the engine compartment.

  Just thought I'd pass on the loss to people who care...
