Welcome Isaiah... this is a great list full of knowledgable and friendly
people... with a few weirdos mixed in for good measure. But we all love
vanagons, and that's a fact. Good luck with the new bus and we're here when
you need us... and you will. There's not too much that somebody on this
list doesn't know about (at least concerning vanagons).
Nice hearing about you btw... maybe all newcomers should introduce
themselves like that, eh?
Aloha,
Mick Kalber
