I bought my first Vanagon in the spring of 97 and being a computer
newbie at the time, simply punched in www.vanagon.com to see
wuzup. Found the list and have been around ever since. I've since
had 3 other Vanagons, but never got any of them on the road under
their own power. Wish I still had that rust free 87 GL that I traded
a clapped out ABS Old Town canoe for back around the turn of the
century. I'd like to think I've given as much good advice as I've
received iin the last 10+years.
