Hi Austin,

We never make progress unless we get off the well beaten lemming path trod by
others and try new things, new methods for new reasons with new results.

If I come up with any more new Vanagon tech methods from the Turner Testing
Laboratories I'll of course share them first with the Vanagon List ;^)

BTW, a six pack of Canadian beer will repair all of your synapse damage from
exposure to high voltage.  Mexican beer works too but you will need two 6
packs.

This brings to mind another burning question I've been curious about.  We've
covered Vanagon food, Vanagon Music and so on.  What is the beer of choice for
the typical Vanagon driver?  I suspect there will be some distinct differences
in preferences  among the Window Vanners, the Westie crowd and the Syncro
rabble.

I of course don't drink but when I do drink I drink Moosehead (or whatever
other swill is in the *Dometic* fridge).

Regardfully,

Carl Turner
