You are one funny guy... the joke wasn't that funny, but the salutation was
hilarious. : )

Subject: Re: REAR AIR CONDITIONER

dear  air in the rear

i too recently purchased an 1984 westie with air in the rear overhead
storage area ... \
Step 1 i removed pump from the engine bay ... the drive belt has a tendency
to slack and run on the 1 inch + coolant hose to the engine
this can cause hose failure as it will eventually wear through with repeated
touchings while running ...

step 2 once the spring actually comes (it snowed last night in the friggin
pacific north west !!!!!)
once spring actually comes i will remove air con system and commence to
looking for an OEM  door to to utilize the storage unit properly ...

step 3 ... advise you to do the same unless you live in a very hot area ...
the troubles inherent in maintaining a 30 year old air con system are not
worth the effort in my opinion ...

reminds me of the time the fellow form one of canada s most easterly
provinces was on a game show

he and two other contestants were faced with the bonus question
"If you were left in the desert, what most would you want with you?"

number 1 guy from a central province ofter referred to as lower canada says
he would like a case of beer because he knows that the long lonely hours
will be made more bearable with a case of beer

number 2 guy who is from the left coast says he would want enough water to
ensure he would make it

number 3 ... the fellow from the very east of canada says he wants to haves
with him a car door

the astonished moderator questioned him as to why he would want top lug  a
heavy car door through the desert ...

the answer was simple
why when it gets to being to hot ... i justs rolls the window down for the
breeze ....

buh dum p pah

yours
