Hermann,
I'm offended! ;-)
Obviously you haven't been looking where my wife and I have been
driving, and we're near Squaw Peak, too. Give me a call and we'll get
together while you're here.
BTW, with our desert air, cars last much longer here (no rust). Those
SUV's you're seeing are actually thirty or forty years old!

Hi Kriss and all
I am on vacation here right now near Squaw Peak, mostly hiking and such,
but for the past 2 weeks I have not spotted a single vanagon or westy in
the Valley. Some old rustbuckets, yes, but other than that nothing ,
nada, nichts. That's worse than Kansas City where you can see at least
one Westy a week.
Good luck finding a garage in a town where everybody seems to be driving
brand spanking new SUVs.
Cheers,
Hermann de Boer
Kansas City,Missouri
87 Westy "Eurospec"
89 Syncro GL
