after several weeks on the  road this  summer for work - up and down
the west coast - the old fulmar (named for the seabird with  the rather
anti-social habit of  spitting oil on its competitors which could
easily cause their  deaths) threw a rod and split the block (talk
about spitting oil!) and needs another engine now - i am not the sort
of mechanic to do this myself - so five grand for a built engine is not
in the cards - though i do like my van a whole heck of a lot - so sad
so sad....

now i dont have a van anymore - my sense of self is slightly shook.

anyone know where i can get a diesel synchro westie for around two
thousand dollars in good condition??????hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

oh dear

The West of which  I speak is but another name for the Wild, and what I
have been  preparing to say is, that in Wildness is the preservation of
  the World. Every tree sends its fibers forth in search of the  Wild.
