JUST GOT BACK FROM THE BAJA. PUT 12,000 KM ON 20 YEAR OLD WESTY AND HAD ONE MINOR PROBLEM. I LOVE MY WESTY. I AM SERIOUS ABOUT TRAVEL I THINK, HAVE PUT 75,000 KM HIGHWAY MILES IN LESS THEN THREE YEARS. I COULD DRIVE SOMETHING ELSE BUT I FIND IT MEETS MY NEEDS PERFECTLY. DRIVING A 20 YEAR OLD WESTY IS PRETTY NEAT IN MY OPINION. WHAT AMAZES ME IS HOW MANY PEOPLE YOU MEET ON THE ROAD WHO LOVE THIS THINGS. IF YOU DON'T LIKE YOUR WESTY FINE BUT I WOULDN'T START TO EDITORIALIZE ABOUT THE PEOPLE THAT DRIVE THEM. I HAVE FOUND THE OWNERS TO BE VERY SERIOUS ABOUT TRAVELING AND TRANSPORTATION. SERIOUS TO POINT OF OBSESSIVE SOMETIMES!!!!! LOL I LOVE THE THING AND I HAVE MET SOME AMAZING PEOPLE WHO OWN AND DRIVE THEM. NO ONE SAYS THEY ARE FOR EVERYONE.
