Let's see now... 159,950 miles on the Caravelle (with new heads at 98K, nothing else though) 113,000 on the Westy with original heads 202,000 on the '81 rabbit diesel, no major repairs; that totals, just about 475,000 miles for the German watercooled junk. Maybe someone needs to find a Suebaroo List to post to.
