In my tirade about the Toyota, I completely forgot to praise the VW's The '68 has 280,000 miles we think (sorry about the above--guess whose e-mail ain't fixed yet...) and the '79 has 158,000, with a rebuilt at 110,000 which included a new clutch. It runs like a dream. The 68 is getting tired all over, but I still wouldn't hesitate to drive it several hundred miles on a trip. Maybe this summer I can really set to work on it...
