Well... it's a good, and bad day.

Two new deliveries from Germany have arrived here at the shop.  That's the
good news.  The bad news is that the shipper put a nice dent in one of them.
Now starts the claims game.  I'm sure there will be the requisite finger
pointing, followed by lots of documentation proving condition and repair
costs, next comes the negotiation, and finally, the settlement that will
undoubtably be less than fair.  Ah crap!

Anyhoo, the good news is that they are here: an '88 Syncro Westy Hightop,
and an '81 Iltis!

If you're interested, there are some pics here:

I took this picture of the damage at the harbor:

Another Doka Syncro should arrive two weeks from now as well.  Hopefully,
they can drive that one on and off the boat without hitting anything!
Fargin Bastages!
