Hi All,


1st post from a new lurker to this list, although I have been on the vintage
bus list for years.  Tom Buese, proud owner of a 84 Westy named "Detlef"
after the  German orig. owner of the Westy who put 38,500 miles on it in 18
years & sold it to me in almost showroom condition a couple of years ago.  I
have since put over 36,000 miles on it on many a fine trip.


In any event, See Dropgates.com  Crash Test for a video of a vanagon & a
volvo station wagon hitting semi-head on @ 58 KPH in a crash test.  Very
interesting!  The van. jumped up on the volvo & theoretically killed the
volvo driver & little damage to the Van. Driver!!!


Happy & safe driving to all,


Tom Buese
84 Westy, Detlef
65 Deluxe Westy?
63 Double Cab
