Hi alistair and others,

        Great idea!  I’ll add this to my wish list right under salvage google car and turn Westfalia into self driving dream machine!

Can you picture me now in the back with my amazing guide dog, enjoying snacks from my cold refrigerator, playing with my iPad, and sorting out items for a camp out, all while the van drives itself to my designated stealth camping location provided by Vanagon.com list members.

Actually, I’m still trying to talk David B. into coming  north a few days early to West river Westfalias in Vermont.  I have a full wish list of items to get his assistance with!  Hoping gas money and pizza would be a draw for slave labor.

If I can just find the Google car by then I’ll move Install Bus Depot Vision ket and update ground straps to the end of my list.
