Got my first Wesy in 1993 and stumbled onto the list sometime in early
1996 or maybe earlier. I found some emails from Joel Walker, Ron Coyote
Lussier, Derek Drew, and many others on the list from back then. I am
not real active in the list, but have enjoyed the friendly banter,
overwhelming info and the Frydaye Phollees, thanks to unca joel. I have
met a few of you at campgrounds, on the road and at the Van O Rama. So
far, I have yet to meet a Vanagon owner that I didn't like. What a
bunch of obsessed, wacky, fools with a jones for crawling under cars!
Just like me! Keep it up, volks! Or should I say "keep it running"?
