One of the customers of the company is a Bangkok based bank.  They had
some employees out for the last couple of weeks working with us here in
Portland on a project.  On Wednesday of this week, we took them out to
lunch.  7 passengers - the Vanagon was the only car up to the task.  I
turned on the blinking christmas lights that I have strung around the
inside of the van (costco cigarette lighter inverter works good for that),
packed everyone in, and away we went.  The two fellows from Thailand
enjoyed the ride so much it made the trip a great fun event.
My mileage was incredible.....about 30 smiles per gallon!!!

Cheers
Brent
