Vincent,
Don't worry, I am Hungarian and have just as much trouble with English as
any. Your love for the Vanagon Westfalias is the common ground here. That
is what holds this club together. Your daughter will love that van forever.
She thinks, it is the most wonderful vehicle. And she is a lucky girl.
Ben is the famous Canadian Vanagon Master. We love his English, haha. But
we would like to know French as good as you know English.
So, welcome home.
Zoltan
