Subject:      bra recommendation
Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

We just acquired a 1987 Syncro Westie; very nice vehicle with 40k on the clock.  Now it needs a few things; any recommendations on quality products and prices are appreciated:

a)  bra
b)  Awning;
c)  Shocks......saw some off road shocks from australia...any info?

And, getting ready to learn how to perform routine service and change all fluids.  My first thought, with only 40k on the clock and the engine tight, is to put Mobil 1 synthetic in the engine.  Recommendations on all fluids (esp gearbox)?

Regards,

carl and nancy

ps:  life in the slow lane...never done this before....this thing has less power than most of my old motorcycles

  Hi all,
  Some might find this interesting.
  We added another travel story describing a vanagon trip (with photos)
  we took on Memorial Day weekend last year through the North Cascades.
  Trip took us through Leavenworth, Lincoln Rock SP,
  Ohme Gardens, Winthrop, etc.
  Can you identify Abe Lincoln's profile in the cliff?
  Just click on Cascade Loop on the interactive map
