Danke, I thank you, o pell(?), We got along so well, We've been down a long, long road, We've got some stories to tell. All of the friends we made, Places we'll never forget, Miles and miles of happy young smiles, It's the good-byes I regret. But who knows what lies round the bend? Oh, I wish you good luck and a road with no end, ?? and farewell, Volksie, o pell(?), You will always be my friend.
and as a personal comment, i'd like to think that the Vanagon and Syncro lists will be that "road with no end" for the T3 vw bus. :) unca joel |
