My first post was April 1995, and within a month or so
Jim Arnott posted that a local dealer in Pendleton
Oregon had a clean Syncro Westie for sale.

He helped with some connections, and in August we flew
to Oregon to pick it up and had a great family
vacation -except for a CV joint scare that Joel helped
me out on- and made our way back to Maryland over a
month or so.

Still have it, of course.
