hear, hear!  my '82 (air-cooled) vanagon may be the best vehicle i ever
owned and my first was a '31 model a coupe.  it easily reaches and can
surpass legal speed limits, at least on straightaways;  you just gotta be a
little patient while it gets there.  but hey, patience and being just a
little laid-back in such matters is part of the veedub karma.  cheers...
cheers...
