Does anybody have a clue how I might RENT a Weekender in ENGLAND???!
I'm taking the whole fam-damily (one husband, two sons, one girlfriend)
over for a month this summer and I'm NOT paying for overpriced, stuck up
hotels.  I told the kids I may make them pitch their backpacking
equipment in the graveyard of an abandoned church.  Folks over there
don't go to church, anyway, they go to the PUB!  Hmmm, I betcha we can
park a van in some of those pub parking lots! Any advice on where to beg
and/or borrow one?  Or could I even buy a 4-wd Weekender somewhere and
bring it back on a slow boat of some kind?

Since I've ordered the trans from the Parts Place, I'll let you ALL know
how it works out!  The dealer (Northland VW) has agreed to put it in for
$340.  Yeah, I could probably have done it cheaper, but if these guys
mess up the job (Parts Place and/or Dealer) I'm gonna make sure I get my
money's worth.(I'm very good at making scenes! :-)  You see, I like to
be able to jump in to the vehicle, live out of it and drive for miles
and NOT worry about anything important breaking down.

This is the neatest list I've seen since my Quantum syncro list dried
up, on account of the fact that list master is now driving a (HORRORS!)
SAAB (heated seats, no less!)

Thanks, Volks!
