This is so true. I lurk mostly on this list because I have a 77 Westy, but
the Type2 list and the vintagvw list for my bugs all have wonderful people
on them. OldVolks sent me some brake pedal clips for my old bug that are
just not reproducible or available anymore, for a nominal fee that in no way
would have covered the cost. He didn't have to do that. When I suggested I
send him some money he more or less suggested a dollar would be good enough.
How can you beat that? Great people, keeping great old vehicles alive.
Regards,
Courtney
