I've just returned from a trip to the Columbia Gorge area, (my wife and I love to windsurf), and while there, I saw a green Syncro double cab in Bingen WA. This trip was a right to left coast jaunt and with our 8 month old son, we rented a Class A motor home. (No westy rentals in the Portland area so no snide comments are necesary :-). We were hanging at the Bingen Marina when I looked back and saw the Syncro. He was leaving so I couldn't catch him. Seeing this vehicle made me realize why Joel and others are in love with it. BTW, the Gorge area seems like VW heaven. The westy is the perfect board car for windsurfers who also live in their vehicle. Unfortunately, not one of the owners I spoke to were aware of this list. I gave the info to many VW owners while I was there so maybe we'll see a large influx of windsurfers on the list. OK, back to work and off digest mode. My continuing saga with the dealer repairing my Vanagon is not completed. The part that was ordered (as the service manager says "I used the number from the fiche") was wrong. So I've been gone for over a week and there has been no progress on getting the vehicle back from the friggin' dealer. I'll end this note with the same line I ended my last post to this list: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHH! Drew Jenkins 86 Syncro. djenkins@foxboro.com
