Long time listees may remember Blaine Bachman from Albaquerque, NM, listee turned Car Talk puzzle solver. If memory serves he had a Westy with an in-line 4 conversion. I haven't seen him posting on the list in a while--maybe the conversion works realy well;) Anyway I was guessing was the same Blaine from Albaquerque. But the car talk puzzler was not about a Vanagon or Vanagon related--except that there was a poorly performing vehicle involved in the puzzle. Best |
