I was driving through southern Arizona one night and I see flashing lights
in the distance
so get ready for a stop of some kind. It turned out to be the Border Patrol.
A nice young man asked to have a look in my Westy and as he did so he
confessed
that this was his "dream machine". He said I want one of these so bad my
teeth itch.
He went on to say that his friends think he is "nuts".
Well you have to be a little different to have one of these at the top of
your wish list but I like different.
It  just seemed quite bizarre here we were in middle of desert in the dark
and
he was lusting after my 22 year old Westy.
I mean this guy was truly excited looking in the vehicle. I mean he "loved"
the thing.
As I drove off  into the  night the purr of the engine even appeared to be
sweeter than
normal.
These things no when they are loved.
I don't know how they but they know!
VW seemed to like being different a longtime ago sadly I don't really see
that
now. I guess when you get huge you don't want to take chances anymore.
Too bad.
