Hi Gang!

Van-O-Rama is back for 2009. Looks like we are back in So. San Francisco
again this year. Same time. Same channel. Further details to be announced
later.

We were at Overland Parts, Inc. two days ago. Ed from OPI said he will TRY
to bring their Tornado Red Carat mule with the pumpe duese engine conversion
for show and tell. Hopefully they will also have their new brushguard
installed on it. These brush guards are similar to the one they used to
import from South Africa but made with squarish ends instead of the comical
looking round loops.

We had an offer to hold VOR #9 at a local shopping center. After inspecting
the venue, it was decided to decline the invitation. Though commercial
displays would have been possible there, there is nothing to look at but
concrete, asphalt, and not so attractive B-grade stores.

Stay tuned for more news soon.
