You can do it, even though you're probably going closer to 70 (have you checked your speedo?). It depends how long you want your motor to last. Jay '85 Westy

Please, tell me oh all-knowing list. Is it that unusual for a Vanagon Westfalia to cruise at 75 MPH? I do it all the time in my '85. Stock motor.. am I wrong? Some folks seem bewildered by this apparently insane speed. Chris. '85 Westy Usual Disclaimers Apply |
