well i  finally made it down to georgia to get my '91 westy that had been
sitting  in my dad's driveway in Atlanta for the past 2 years..(long story -
he  was
moving..i had to finally get it  - this road trip was 2 years in  the making)
..   i left on the 1st of feb and got back a little  over a week ago..    i
missed all that *wonderful* snow we had  here on valentines day (thank god) ..
anyway the van performed flawlessly  on the trip....

all 5.8 gas guzzling liters of it..   the  ford E250, that is :<)     i towed
my dads E420 down to  him, the ford loaded with some vanagon parts i was
dropping off for some  folks down south and some furniture for my dads new
place..and
then towed  the westy back.. the ford filled with parts from a '89
whitestar/wolfsburg  van i stripped while i was down there..

first off let me say on the  whole trip i saw absolutely ZERO vanagons.
i did see one eurovan rialta  with florida plates heading down south though..
that was it.
as a known  rule, the southeast is generally void of volkswagens...especially
vw  vans..

domestics rule down there..  especially pickup  trucks..

anyway i spent time w/. family and relatives in atlanta and  savannah..nice
and warm there.. it was nice to be away from the  cold..   but sucks to
return to
it..
i came back to a unplowed  driveway of ice..

im ready for  spring!

What? You were in Atlanta and I didn't see you or your Westy amongst the 4
million people sitting in traffic?

I was going to offer my driveway to you but since you will "never camp in
your westy "  ...
I will offer my couch the next time you are in town  : )
