hold the boat! I live in the area you described in San Pedro. Doesn't Gaffey and Western major streets sound familair? And the 110 (harbor freeway). I just wish I could have seen this bus. Why don't you stop over for a spot of tea? Let me know if your interested. Mind the sunset. Sunsets are the most dangerous in San Pedro because of all the hills and streets facing west cars heading in that direction up a hill many times get blinded from the sun and crash. All of this + what is starting to look more like new york traffic and many crazy drivers. OH WAIT a second. Are you talking about that white Vanagon Westfalia parked there marked for sale along with the other used cars and New beetle????? And across the street from that is the Arco gas station and across the street from that is Chevron. That bus is gorgeous. It would be mine if I didn't have kids to send to college... ------Original Message------ From: James Sperl <JiMelody@WORLDNET.ATT.NET> To: vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM Sent: September 26, 2000 3:21:02 AM GMT Subject: Re: Vanagon Sightings in CA
And I was in LA last week. Wow. Saw more in 3 days than over the past year in NM and OH. A beautiful white Westy automatic for sale in San Pedro about 10 blocks south from where the 110 freeway ends. Go in the daytime. Cheers. Jim 91 Syncro Adventurewagon 99 NB TDI - did I hear that fuel prices increased?
