Stan,

Out of curiosity what would you recommend as a replacement for my 1991
Syncro Westfalia?  I need it to be able to haul 5 people, go offroad, be
unaffected by snow, sleep 4, make ommletts, allow me to stand up straight
(6'3") while making said ommletts, move a laundry machine, and  park in a
standard parking space.

As far as I can see there are no replacements this side of $70,000.  If at
all.

But the one and only vehicle that meets my needs (Syncro Westfalia) has an
engine that is underpowered and unreliable.  I can't change vehicle since
there is nothing out there like it.  But I can switch engines:-)  And then I
have it all!

Cheers,

Cory
