""is a lot for an amateur."""

Let's say that i don't consider myself an amateur anymore! hey hey
hey... even if i like to look and sound like one.

I spend 10 to 12 hours a day on Vanagon.. it's been 4 years and 2.5 in
my shop, i don't share everything i know about those vans... (lack of
time), i have found solutions a tricks that you can't imagine.... i will
share them, one day!

I try to stay humble, it's not easy most of the time (when i read some
post that CRANK me up), this list is great and as great peoples, i don't
want to interfere with people who try hard to help other folks here, but
believe me, i have most solution to every problems you guys have...

Many thanks Neil, i'm proud of what i have done

Regards, Ben

ps.: this is 5 years of VW stuff that i put on online, in English
mostly, why? i'm French... for a guy name Jame that help me a lot 6
years ago... his was from Oregon, thank bro.. even if you are not with
us anymore... don't ask me about that story!!!! but let's say that i
keep writing in English for him ( a real VW/Vanagon freak) remember, my
language is French, when i write in English i have to work 2 time harder...
