Hi Mick,

Yea it's that PITA that wants you to fly him to the big island to fix
your Vanagon A/C! Question: Why do all BMW owners in the snow belt have
cats? So they can justify hauling 300 lbs. of kitty litter sacks in the
trunk all winter! The BMW line(excluding the iX) is a winter traction
disaster. The AST(All Season Traction) is a cover-up for a vehicle that
is designed and balanced for 200+ K/M autobahn cruising with no regard
for unplowed surface streets. The Germans strangely have no clue about
making their cars winter-friendly!!!

Regards,        John
