OK, this has been really bugging me for the last coupla weeks, and I really have to get it off my chest ... On Thursday, October 30 I spotted a pretty nice looking white 1980-86? Westy, possibly with a Yakima roof-rack system, parked in a used car lot on the outskirts of New Orleans, LA.. I cannot seem to recall seeing a Westy on any used car lot -- EVER -- so it kinda caught my eye. Sitting as it was, among the old Toyota hatchbacks and played-out SUV's, it looked very forlorn and is probably in desperate need of a loving new home. The price, written on the windshield with one of those gargantuan used-car-lot markers, was $2995. The place was on Westbank Expressway, about a block west of The Boat Yard (a local boat dealer), on the north side of the street. If my subsequent internet sleuthing is correct, the place is called: Express Way Auto 6582 Westbank Expy Marrero, LA 70072 Main Phone: 504-328-9100 Would someone please go and buy this poor, lonely Westy? Or at least tell your N'Awlins-area friends about it, so they can stop and check it out? I myself would have stopped if I hadn't been held captive on a Grey Line tour bus at the time, on my way to a local Bayou & Swamp Tour guided by a garrulous and shady Cajun who called himself Capt. Gary. I wish I'd bought the Westy instead ... Jeffrey Earl 1983 diesel Westfalia "Vanasazi"
