Hi, Darren,

I'll ask Anthony about other RHD owners here in the states. I think I have heard him speak about this, so I think so.

We don't share the info, at large. Some people don't want info like this distributed. If we travel in your area, we may call you and ask if we can stop by. Sometimes, Anthony knows someone who wants to sell a particular year bus and someone who wants to buy the same, and he tries to connect them.

I'll try to get an answer about the cables, too. Will try to e-mail you tomorrow, or watch the vanagon mail for it.

Lori and Anthony Gelato
