Hi Scott,

You THINK you've seen rusted Vanagons. But until you've lived in Ontario
or Quebec, you really don't know the half of it.

That's why my Vanagons (and my Dad's vanagons) came from out of
province. Mine are from VA and BC, his are from WV and BC.

Ask George about his Jetta motor, he'll back me up on this.

Happy Trails,

Greg Potts
