dear denizens of Gerry.Vanagon.com
it would seem there might be one of everyone doing one of everything, in
this group
if atlas ever does shrug ...
where is the meeting point so we can restart with Gerry.Vanagon as out
leader ...
ahhh i can see the society unfolding now ...
Mark in AK operating a large shop n bone yard with several vanagon carcasses
Scott operating a service department with Hawaiian new age radio playing
Lorne plotting our position by the stars
the new society will allow vehicle camping on every street but the one each
of us lives on
also there will be no derelict auto laws ...
so each person can have as many parts or project vans as they can drag home
policing will be done by our current list moderators, careful flamers these
moderators will be armed
as will any who choose to be with ion the society (got to protect vanagon
part supply from marauders)
There wll be special sections set upfor early Type 2, Doka, Syncro etc...
I know it is not fryday... i simply couldn't resist...
my apology in advance to the current moderators and list if these comments
have been deemed political...
happy very hot sunday
yours
