Alright Volks,

I stand corrected. I really do like the social aspect of the list. It's a great place to meet women. Seriously though, you have to admit that once a thread gets started about stickers and then it morphs into a thread about too much mail about stickers and then to why nobody is voting and then to why it's been taken off the site and then well... this, it gets a little old. I'm up for chasing dry-docks as much as the next guy but I really am on the list to talk and learn about vanagons... and meet women. hee hee

Oh, by the way. I have a cabinet shop here in Bellingham, WA. I'm looking for a person to help.. hell, I want you all to help. But come on up and let's build stuff. I also have a great big yard to park vans in. You can stay by the creek. Yes Karl, you too.

Cheers, Brandt '85 Westy
