Got more stuff on the 'site.  Major overhaul on the stickers page - loads
faster and I'm running a special too on that and other Fun Zone stuff for
Christmas (gee-whiz - Halloween hasn't arrived yet).

Distributor, Interchange, Replacement Parts and Tune-Up Info (Beetle, Bus
& Vanagon thru 91) is progressing along and to be loaded up on Saturday
at the earliest, Sunday at the latest.

Obligatory Bus Content:  Got a neat early Bus Button available now -
$1.50 each

Obligatory Vanagon Content:  Thanks to a couple of list members, I've
received an OE accessory dash cupholder/tray for the Vanagon and have
sent 'em to my vacu-former for quotes and minimum production quantities.

14,000 on the Westy since new engine (July 4th).  Outside of Ignition and
minor relay problems, she's just a hummin' along.  Changed plugs at
12,000 - nice brown color.  Replaced 'em with the WR7DTC's Joel
recommends - trip to LA afterwards seems a little smoother and can tell a
little better power on the Grapevine (6% grade south bound).  Mileage
(15-16mpg) is about the same, but then again I'm packed to the gills with
display cases and boxes full of parts with an Automatic trans.  Doesn't
use a drop of oil or coolant.  Guess I've been lucky or I'm doing
something right.

Noise in the front right wheel bearing(s) - gonna R&R those this weekend
(both sides to be safe) (maybe the front brake pads too, don't know if
they're due).
