OK I'm 27. My first bus experance was when I was like 8 my uncle had a 77
bay window westy. I loved it every time he came over I would make him pop
the top and I would hang out in it. I actually pressed the clucth in once
and hit the mail box at the end of the drive way :) He will never let that
down even though there was no damage except the mail box. First car was an
88 vanagon GL. I beat on it so hard and it went great for 2 years took it
on lots of snowboard trips with friends. Heads finally went after 10 months
of bars leak :) Sold that and went VW less for a couple years then I bought
a sweet 90 Passat. I personally put 200K on that bad boy camped in it more
then any of my vans. Then I picked up a rusty 76 bus that only lasted a
couple months. Then vw less for a couple years and my girlfriend talked me
into buying my 80 westy sold that and a week later I picked up an 81
vanagon by accident, can't pass up a great deal. Now I have my 87 Westy, I'm
hooked and learning alot. I love the vanagon shape I can carry big stuff
like I have a truck and still get away on the weekend. Now I just need a non
westy to learn about engine conversions and do my day to day hauling.
Still trying to convince my friends and family that Westfalia is not german
for money pit :)
Cheers
