Hi All, Just finished my whirlwind vehicular transfer trip from KC to Stillwater, OK to Tulsa, OK and back without major incident other than a few delays. Bill Keating has a real nice place and my 4.5 yr old and I saw a Bobcat mama with two kittens crossing the road not far from their house. Bill had really worked hard getting his garage cleaned out for the 64 Single Cab. My 82 Diesel is now at my storage yard outside of KC. I hope to get it going and possibly driving in Sept. On the way back from the storage yard 40 miles from home, I decided to pull the U-haul car transport trailer with my Bug hauling single axle trailer with my 86 Syncro. Since the trailer was back-heavy and I had a heck of time keeping the Syncro from getting wishy-washy on the interstate--a real nightmare in busy traffic. Made it back okay though. 748 miles, mostly in a gas guzzling Ford F-250. I'm ready for a Vanagon diesel sipping trip soon! Hope to see many of you at BBTA! I'll be in my blue 86 Syncro GL with my 4.5 yr old boy in tow. 8-) Current stable: 86 Syncro GL Silver (thrown rod) 86 Syncro GL Blue Driver (for sale, $5200 obo) 86 GTI Other driver (for sale, $1200 obo) 84 Vanagon Automatic, std. passenger (for sale, $1500) 82 Diesel Vanagon 66 Deluxe Non-snrf Bus (possibly sold for $75) 63 Camper (slowly returning to the earth in Iowa) 60, 61, & 63 Bugs (keeper projects) 61 Double Cab (ambitious project) 58 Panel (awaiting a buyer for Florida) -- Jon Christensen /V\ Membership Coordinator for the ~Certified VW Nut \W/ Vintage VW Club of America Vvwca@primenet.com http://www.concentric.net/~vvwca
