Oooooooooo, luv to have that.

Actually, I'm looking for the small accessory cup/change/small stuff
holder that VW offered for the Vanagons.  It mounted on top of the dash
and was made in black (other colors?) high-impact plastic.  I believe it
came with double-sticky tape on the bottom to hold it to the dash or
could be optionally secured with tiny sheet-metal screws (I'd hate to
drill the dash, wouldn't you?).  Don't want it for just myself, but would
like to find a nice *MINT* one to use as a pattern to repro from.  Have a
friend who's into plastics (The Graduate?) and could easily vacu-form or
whatever to make them.  I've had a lot of customers in the past few years
looking for this.  Anyone wanna donate for the cause?

Oh well, I justa keep ona dreamin'    :-)
