I'm buying a 91 Westy in May that is a shiney silver .... Looks darned good
to me ...

Some fellow, decided to rehab the camping components, ordered a bunch of new
fittings, pulled the cabinetry, and decided it was more work that he wanted
to do ...
Everything is sitting inside the van waiting for my summer project to begin.

VW didn't use great paint, did they? Besides their color choices, I mean.
You'd think silver would be a fairly easy paint to do correctly, but their
silver as used around that same time period...has anyone ever seen any
silver VWs that aren't all dull and faded?  The Pumpkin Orange is another
distinctively VW Van color and their special Westy yellow...
  The latest VW Kid-Car paint color preference seems to be Black.  See lots
of Black fart-can exhaust equipped, 22" wheeled "Fast and Furious" car
clones zipping around now...Always wound up to at least 6 grand, even in the
parking lots of Circuit City...
  Went to a dyno session once with my Porsche racecar and watched one of the
young enthusiasts there do a 340hp 'pull' with like a 2 liter
motor..Impressive numbers, but pretty 'close to the edge' with big
boost...Black car, of course..

  Assuan brown.  otherwise known as "Asswipe brown"  or turd brown, or other
derivatives referring to excrement.
