Congrats Chris,

Now if you only were opening a shop in NWO (NW Ohio) instead of PNW, I'd really be excited. I'm about to start my own vanagon repair business. I'm relatively inexperienced when it comes to vanagon repairs, but cheap and honest. As far as I can tell, that means I'm just like the other NWO import shops that I've taken my van to, but, I have the edge because I'm also cheap and honest.

Cheers,

Barry ----- Original Message ----- From: "Chris DeLong" <green536@HOTMAIL.COM> To: <vanagon@GERRY.VANAGON.COM> Sent: Monday, December 30, 2002 1:53 AM Subject: new shop in PNW
