Folks, I have been on this list for 12 years, which coincides with the purchase of my first Westfalia, a 1985 Wolfsburg edition Westfalia, "Camel". I bought my second Westfalia, "Hershey", in 2004. With the help of the list I have nursed, maintained, babied, polished and upgraded Hershey from a dog heap to the fine, fast cruising machine in is today. I have learned a lot about Vanagons from the list, but the most valuable lesson I learned here has nothing to do with vehicles. As it stands now, Hershey will be up for sale in the near future. It feels strange to admit that one day soon I will no longer own what has been a part of my and my family's life for 12 years. I will be moving onto something much older and much slower, but still very VW and very Transporter, and I will be making new memories. It is unlikely that anyone on the list would be interested in purchasing Hershey, since all of you are Vanagon owners, but if you are, feel free to pmail me. I'm located just north of Atlanta, GA.

So long, and thanks for all the knowledge. -- Chris S. "Old Farts don't learn, they argue. Don't be an Old Fart" |
