I moved out of Orlando to New Orleans over Labor Day weekend; I'll try to get online and update my AIRS contact info; I had forgotten about changing that address.

There is a decent VW dealer one more exit past Maitland at Lee Road off I-4 - Royal VW - its about 1-mile west of the interstate. They should still have some decent technicians there. If all else fails, I have some other Orlando contacts he might be able to try. The guys at K&K auto parts (407-851-6430) should be able to help him out with parts and a Vanagon tech. 

Any Vanagon owners in/around New Orleans?

All,
  I got a call from one of our brethren (Larry) driving an 85 Vanagon and
he's stuck in North East Orlando Florida near I-4, SR 434, and SR436 near
Maitland.  Where he is EXACTLY, I'm not sure but he says he's near there.
Anyhow, he tried to contact (via the AIRS webbsite) Tim  Hannick who's near
there, but he gets the voice mail for "David Barclay"?  Tim, did you change
your number?  Regardless, I gave him some contacts for that part of the
state but I'm almost two hours away so if any of you are near there and can
assist he could use the help.  His engine cranks over but that's it.  He
replaced the fuel filter a few weeks ago and made a 500 mile trip no
problem.  No other signs (according to his eyes and ears).  His cell is 404
579 3646.
