Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1"

Just got back from New Mexico. 1933 miles in 5 days. Whew! Wolfgang (my 85 Westy - 165k miles on original engine) carried me swiftly and surely down and back to KC, even taking me to the near 10,000 foot summit of Sacramento Peak without missing a beat! I could not be more pleased. (See -- Vanagons don't necessarily have problems everytime you start them up!)

I'll let you know when I update my web site with the photos.

Meanwhile, when I returned, I found this in my inbox. Can anyone help out Leaf?
