Hi list friends.
I have not seen many posts lately. Even posts I’ve sent have not shown ump in my in box or junk.
I suspect we are again seeing a problem where many posts are going missing.
Dan, post your questions no matter when. I always like reading about ways to solve vanagon issues.
Now,
Lets hear it, who got some Vanagon related or vanagon life related Christmas presents?
I actually didn’t get any this year. The rule around hear is I can’t get anything for my vanagon until it is home. As this is now heading into month 11 I’m hurting.
But, that won’t stop me from making a wish list.
So what cool items arrived for Christmas?
Best
Eric Caron
