Our 1987 Syncro Westfalia just turned 100K during a trip to the woods last weekend. It's predecessor, a 1983 Westfalia had 130K on it, still running strong when sold to buy the Syncro in 1991. Before the '83 there was a 1971 Westy, on which I put 160K miles in addition to whatever was already there. I sold the '71 to a guy in Boulder for parts in 1985 when I could afford a nice one (the 1983 mentioned earlier). I STILL SEE the 1971 driving around Boulder on occassion... I'm amazed; It was pretty bad when I sold it, fifteen years ago!! -- Jon B Kanas Longmont, Colorado Cultural Center of the Universe 303-678-0658 kanas@qadas.com > Date: Fri, 6 Jul 2001 09:51:11 -0700 > From: David Thoresen <mr_epicfoto@YAHOO.COM> > Subject: Re: How Many Total Miles On Your Van? > > How come my salutation didnt show up? > > Ciao! > David > '91 Vanagon 175K Miles *Big Blue Boomer* > > --- David Thoresen <mr_epicfoto@YAHOO.COM> wrote: > > I like to put it on the end of my salutation to this > > list. > |
