Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii"

Were there any listmembers at Ardenwood this past weekend?  Saw a white
Syncro with very aggressive tires and a Westfalia (86 or later).  

Ours was in a front parking lot (white w/pink curtains-PO's idea not
ours) and later the other white Syncro moved to the same parking lot.
This caused me to misdirect my stepdaughter who was giving me a ride to
our van.  I pointed here in the direction of what I thought was the only
white Syncro in that lot til I saw its roof rack (and lack of gaudy pink
curtains).

BTW, this past weekend was a harvest-type event at this vintage farm,
and my family was helping grind the flour by hooking up the grinder to
the PTO on our Allis Chalmers circa 1940.  Hopefully my 1947 Farmall
will be back in service by spring and will handle the PTO chore next
fall.  

The next morning my mom and I attended Wolfsburg Wickedests' show in
Modesto, California.  It was very nice, small show and very pleasant
weather.  Ours was the only Vanagon, but there were several nice T1s and
T2s in attendance, including a couple of very nice T1 Single Cabs.
