Hi,

I'm originally from South Carolina, and my In-Laws presently live slightly
West of Columbia.  I'll keep an eye out for you when we visit in September.
One thing you will notice is the extreme lack of any kind of VW's down
there, especially Vanagons.  However, the gas is dirt cheap -- a lot cheaper
than central NC!  There are some great U-Pull-it junkyards up I-20 northeast
of Fort Jackson.  However, they are usually only divided into two sections:
Ford and GM.

>Well, I finally made it down to South Carolina from Minnesota over last
weekend.  I'll be in the Columbia area, Fort Jackson actually, for the next
six weeks.  If you see a gold Vanagon GL Syncro around with Minnesota plates
and the ORIGINAL Vanagon list (vanagon@lenti.umn.edu) sticker, it's me!
