Yes, but I am having fun with it :) I have friends in the location where the Westfalia is purported to be as I use to live there. I have asked him to provide contact information for the towing company/garage who is holding the vehicle and I'll arrange for my friend to go see it tomorrow during business hours.
I just so happens I might be in that area at the end of next week, so I informed him if my friend gives confirmation on the condition of the vehicle, I'll purchase it on or before the 11th.
Now we wait ;-)
