Thanks to those that offered moral support and suggestions when Wu-Wei went
on strike last week. I reported that she suddenly & quietly lost the
benefit of forward movement due to the transmission not working or the
clutch not engaging  or whatever (can you tell I'm not a mechanic?}.
Anyway I got her analyzed and fixed at the Beetle Shop in Belfast, Maine.
The reason for the sudden & quiet loss of 1st & 2nd gears without any
forewarning remains a mystery.  Any ideas?
Wu-Wei is now back on the road, running smooth & we're gearing up for an
extended trip to southwest Florida.
