            Nice!  Congragulations!  I'm planning to take full advantage of my Syncro's 
capabilities.

	The van is blue, and so am I because I haven't been able to work on it all week. 
It's in great shape with only 63,000 miles and the thing (in reference to my Vanagon not 
my Thing) looks like it's never been used off-road.  The body is in excellent shape for 
a nine year old car.

	Yes, I have.  In fact Tom just set up a great new Syncro website that everyone 
should check out and all Syncro owners should join the Registry.
	I'll see you at Manassas and I'll see anyone who looks for me at Carlisle this 
weekend.  I'll be the guy smiling in my blue-on-blue Syncro Camper GL.
