Ha!  As i was slogging up a 9000 foot pass in second gear in the snow yesterday
in my syncro westfalia, the new BMW behind me that had conspicuously NOT passed
me for the last 5 miles finally pulled along side and two beautiful young
woimen  about 19 and 20 waived wildly and approvingly with big beautiful
smiles... as dad at the wheel looked on, and then pulled away...

Now only if i had a streach syncro westfalia...no telling what might happen.
