Bye, Bye!

I for one found Melissa's message pertinent and profound. We didn't buy these
vans to simply "fix" them all the time and play techno twit games. The vanagon
and particularly the westy  represent values, beliefs and dreams. They are a
"state of mind"!

I for one would like to see more posts about what we all "do" with these
vehicles and where they take us along with the "how to keep em running" posts.

Thank you Melissa for giving us all a wake up call.
