Bet you're sorry you said that?
I'll be looking forward to seeing your weekly reports about your new
adventure; "GreensHaus the golf cart experience", when you get back home and
think twice about putting another three thousand or more into the RoadHaus
adventure.
Westfalia Acres sounds like a great place to put RoadHaus up on blocks as a
final resting place until you find a buyer for yet another dead engine
Westy.
