Subject: gift shopping help ... :)
for those unfortunate few out there who have not yet decided on a gift
for themselves (or whatever unlucky SO you would like to give this to),
here's a thought:
a subscription/membership to a vw bus club. :) or a magazine. ;)
gee, what a novel idea. and where would i find these clubs/magazines???
funny you should ask ...
