Well... it's a good, and bad day. Two new deliveries from Germany have arrived here at the shop. That's the good news. The bad news is that the shipper put a nice dent in one of them. Now starts the claims game. I'm sure there will be the requisite finger pointing, followed by lots of documentation proving condition and repair costs, next comes the negotiation, and finally, the settlement that will undoubtably be less than fair. Ah crap! Anyhoo, the good news is that they are here: an '88 Syncro Westy Hightop, and an '81 Iltis!

Another Doka Syncro should arrive two weeks from now as well. Hopefully, they can drive that one on and off the boat without hitting anything! Fargin Bastages! Cheers, Jeff www.vanagonparts.com www.autostadtwest.com |
