Glad to be back on the List. Hope nothing to dramatic > has happened in my absence.

John, let me bring you up to date a little here. While you were out:

1. The whole tire issue got resolved. Didn't save the posts, doesn't matter all that much to me. 2. The whole wheel issue got resolved. Finally, everybody agreed on a minimum load recommendation, width and diameter. 3. People started posting craigslist and ebay sales of reasonably-priced vanagons in good repair, and the ads have definitely taken a turn for the better now that both CL and eBay only allow honest, knowledgeable item descriptions. 4. It was finally determined that no matter how much you sawed, hacked or customized your westy interior, it would ultimately not matter to buyers in the future, and furthermore it was decided that such upgrades will eventually increase the value of our vehicles. 5. The original waterboxer engine was determined to be the best for the Vanagon. 6. Somebody has begun making oil drain plugs for diesel vanagons again. Very high quality, less than a dollar. 7. Somebody came up with a little clear piece of plastic, about the size of a piece of paper, that mounts above the rear window and gives the Vanagon a coefficient of friction just a hair worse than a Lotus Elite. 8. No more seam rust, at all. Don't recall the details. Search the archives. 9. Scott doesn't care if you post where you are located, or what kind of Vanagon you are asking about.

That's all I can think of. As I said, you didn't miss much. I was going to wait until April 1 to hit send but couldn't figure out how to schedule that in gmail.

Best,

Jim
