Chris     a good resource here is the Newest VW club in the area (1 1/2
years old) there are about 75 members. Aircooled but members have
watercooled too but you were talking about a 81 anyway ---that's another way
to go- there has been one  vanagon on cruises too but we could use another
!. Next meeting is next Wednesday night 7 PM  at a club house off of
Guintolli/299  do a search for Humbugs or use www.bugdoc.com      Lloyd-----
