<blockquote type=cite class=cite cite="">Well, poor Grover (my '90 Carat)
has a major problem. The plastic coolant<br>
&quot;manifold&quot; that attaches to the passenger side fire wall failed
last<br>
Thursday. Before I realized things had gone a foul the engine overheated
and<br>
asside from the headgaskets, thermostat housing, that coolant peice, a
bit<br>
of wiring, and a melty fuel line - I suspect the heads are shot as
well.<br>
Trying to work things out right now to get him repaired and back ont
he<br>
road.<br><br>
That being said my friend Tim is letting me borrow his '85 GL, Rerun,
for<br>
the time being (because Grover is my daily driver). It so happens that
Rerun<br>
was my first Vanagon. It was kind of nice driving that bus again - and
as<br>
the subject line says, it is kind of like an old pair of favorite jeans.
It<br>
was comforting - espescially since I haven't been a real happy guy
since<br>
Grover took ill.<br><br>
