A few beetles  and a Ghia thrown in here and there for good measure
don't really count, do they?
Oh!  There was a 68 Westy I bought for the gas cap  and the roof and
ended up parting it out.  I still have some of the parts.
Gosh, doesn't seem like many,
Every van  seems like it will be the last.  It would be interesting to
compile a book of  stories about these vans.
we must have a few hundred good stories between us all. With not a few
broken hearts and a lot of exultation.
