now that better!  ;-) It's friday so beware of FISH
comments!  ;-) Just trying to get y'all to lightem up a bit
over the silly stuff. Where are you located? Is it a winter
thing? I know on other lists people are getting really edgy
over winter. here in Kalifornia we really never have that
problem!  ;-) .....time for a open air drive in the midget!
 ;-)

Ah! ...but Stan, that is not my problem at all! i am
happily driving around in a stock '80 air-cooled westy!
I have NEVER said the wasserboxer is a BAD engine! I love
it!

the '84 had an engine compartment fire...mild damage, but
enough to cost big $$ to replace all to back to stock. We
found the deisel wabbit engine at Pick-n-pull for
$79.00!!!!  ;-) now just need to swap in all the vanagon
deisel parts we already have as spares, go back to get a
set of tail light assy's and all that wiring, than will
have a good running van. Slow as hell, but it will be
cheaper to run in Kalifornia with our gas prices...

Paul
(maybe shouldn't mention the mercury marine mercruiser 140
engine that is powering my '66 Land-Rover?   ;-)  hehehehe!
and you all thought old rovers were slow!  ;-)
