Subject:      FS: White (80-86?) Westy, $2995
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

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 ...
