yea he does sell them from time to time..  the westys he leaves out there
with the tops popped up 24/7.   i was like. "mark, dont you ever worry about the
interiors getting ruined from water leaking in the rotted canvas with the tops
popped up all the time like that?"   i dont think he cared.. lol   actually,
i probably wouldnt care either if i had 80 of them.   nice enough guy tho.
and yeps  he is kown as the key guy at the vw shows.  he has OE blanks for just
about every year and can make you a key right there on the spot from the bed
of his doka (which is a twin of mine) .. he's got the key cutter right there.
