Hey Neil, at least with the AW Top Molds we know the location !
Which is within a practical range for us. They're about a 4 and a half hour
drive from me even.
but ...........who knows what's going on with the seller of them.......must
not be too important to him if he's not answering quires............or maybe
he's out of the contry or , hope not, in the hospital or something.
re Jim's one of Thompson's Laws. ..............
how a good deal is usually far away .........
well how INTERESTING that refers to LOCATION.............location is a LOT
isn't it !! :-)
And, I'm happy to say I've found some great vanagons deals not that far away
from where I am ..........
last pretty hot deal...........a rare 1983 5 speed Sunroof Diesel Vanagon
.........( FS when I get it going.........no rust, only minor dents too )
that I got from a guy with Thompson for a last name...........about 3 and a
half hours away, not a bad tow at all. I sure couldn't have gotten it if it
was in Baltimore.
Pretty soon it'll all be cell phones. I'm glad there is a trend away from
driving with one hand while holding one to your ear.
The real danger is the distraction of course..........the having a
covnersation while driving, not the actual holding of the phone.
And oddly...............in states where it's illegal to hold a cell phone to
your ear and drive, it is not illegal to text massage - now there's a real
distraction, and a few people have died already while text messaging while
driving.
Somebody tell me what the big deal is about Van Cafe and Frank loosing their
servers ? ..........
I pay Fatcow 99 dollars a year to host a website with lots of capabilities ,
like no big deal. So what exactly is 'the problem' ?
In plain English too please, should anyone care to comment.
thanx, rantlessly.
