Cool, Ron -- you're own personal 15 minutes of fame!
Also, what I was going to post.
Any lurkers out there? Wannabe's? I decided to check out the busses and
vans I saw driving from Santa Clara to San Jose this morning. Mostly I
checked out "westies for sale" category, but saw some others.
Hows this: 1985 Westfalia 111k miles looks PERFECT, A/C Auto $4500
1969 Westfalia interior looks perfect, new engine, body has
a few dents and rust in the battery tray.
Got phone numbers if you want'em. I'd have bought the '85 but my wife
HATES automatics. I saw four other Vanagons for sale, and the single and
doublecab splits I posted about last night. This was on one drive, not going
out of my way. I also stopped to look at the new Boxster Porsche. The
perfect replacement engine for your Syncro Westie in a few years, no doubt!
Cool. Also gazed at four VR6 EV Winnabago conversions (new). Did not even
bother to look at the non-westy busses and Vanagons I passed for sale.
In the non-for-sale category, I met the very last Adventurewagon conversion
of a VW -- a 1990 Syncro. Beautiful high-top camper. and a Syncro to boot.
We were a good crowd of VW's parked there -- two plain Vanagons, a DoubleCab
Vanagon/Transporter (a 1985), the Syncro Adventurewagon and my Syncro Kombi
Transporter. Did not bother to count the number of busses I passed, although
Vanagons seem to be getting to be the most common ones I see. Did not see
a single EV on the road. Odd, 'cause I usually do. Saw a Baywindow Doublecab,
though, to make up for the lack.
Most of you folks must live in hell.
