won. Howdy, It's Friday AM here. And I get two Fridys today! Yippee for me. This is a trip report from Seoul Korea. Left the vanagons at home. So what do you get for 9.6 million won? A BMW C1 of course. Saw two at the dealership in person. Ah like... alot. Looks like something that would make the commute in Silicon Valley much easier. You would still be able to use the commuter lanes, yet with the overhead cage and upper bumper points, I suspect you would be pretty safe on the roads. Great design from The Motorwerks. 9.6 million? Exchange rate == 1,220 won to the dollar or so. As for VWs??? Not a single one dighted in two weeks. Not a Golf, not a Jetta, not a Vanagon. Nada, Nothing. Of course, there were lot of Japanese cars rebadged with Korean Names. Isuzu Trooper, Mitusbishi Monteros, etc. Just no VWs. There are some BMWs running around, but not many. Looking forward to beiing back in the states, Take care all, tim ob san jose (seoul, korea)
