Hi Scott,

You THINK you've seen rusted Vanagons. But until you've lived in Ontario or Quebec, you really don't know the half of it.

That's why my Vanagons (and my Dad's vanagons) came from out of province. Mine are from VA and BC, his are from WV and BC.

Ask George about his Jetta motor, he'll back me up on this.

Happy Trails,
