       I, know it's not VANAGON related but is VW and bus related so that's 
close enough !  I found a 1/33 scale model Samba at the Bay (Hudson's Bay 
Department Store for you non-Canucks) yesterday for $2.99 !  It's the same as 
the one on the cover of the new Volkswagen Camper & Commercial mag I was 
speaking of yesterday.  What a coincidence.  Just cruising through the Bay 
yesterday and in a pile of model cars displayed in the aisle I was cruisein' 
down there was this nice red Samba.  Whoa !  Stop and have a look see.  Say's 
RUFF N' TUFF Power Racer made by Maisto with pull back action, same as the 
models featured in issue 5 of VWC&C. Surprise !  So I look around and it's 
the only one.  Take it to the counter 'cauz I just gotta have it and the S.O 
is freakin' and the salesmiss rings it up at $2.99 !  It's on sale to boot !  
Well, that's about $.50 in US dollars so what a bargain !  Lucky me !  Now if 
I can just find a real life size Tristar for the same kinda bargain price 
I'll be havin' a Merry Christmas.

Happy Holidays
