Well, not really. But my list co-admin on WetWesties completed his drive
from Eugene, OR to Buenos Aires, Argentina a few months ago in his '82

Hello Erick,
I am a friend of Cris Torlasco who suggested contacting you.  We are
traveling through Costa Rica by VW Van and will be there in November.  We
hope to ship our car from there to South America. We left Eugene, Oregon in
July and traveled north to Alaska.  We went all the way to the Arctic Ocean
at a town called Deadhorse.  We hope to reach Ushuia Argentina and return
home by July of 2003.  We are meeting my oldest daughter in San Jose on
November 27 for a few days but will need to stay longer to arrange shipping.

We are driving a 1991 Westfalia, which I bought from Cris.  It has been
running very well so far.  We are about 13,000 miles into our trip.  The van
has about 106,000 miles on it.  Perhaps we could get to meet you on our way
through.  Right now we are in Teguc, Honduras.
Su Amigos,
Eric y Mo



Hope this helps.
