German Transaxle is there too.

as for a 'really good' Vanagon shop around there, let me know if you
discover one.

Subject: Bend, OR -- my goodness, lots of Vanagons!

Mrs Squirrel and I just got back from Bend, Oregon. We think we're gonna
move there. We spent quite a time canvassing the Westside district, looking
for a house (found a few that seem to suit us). We must have seen 50 Vanagon
Westies, 20 Vanagons, an even dozen baywindows, and quite a few baywindow
Westies -- all in that one district! Maybe a couple splitties, and more than
a handful of aircooled bugs. (Almost wrote "aircooled butts," which is a
whole different story.)

Mellow Yellow will feel right at home there! The large population of running
Vanagons suggests that there might be a good mechanic or two up there that
knows these idiosyncratic vehicles.
