Hi Dan.  Sorry the Winnie folks don;'t seem to have done a good job.  The 
EV is an outstanding vehicle.  Easily worth the Transporter name living 
up to its predecessors.  Winnie might not live up to the Westie though.

EV itself doesn;t have more than the one duct.  Has nevr been inadequate 
(well the first few minutes are darned cold - but thats true of all 
vehicles isn;t it)

Hope they didn't mess that up too badly.

EV only has delay in the front nothing in the rear on delay.  Does the 
Winnie lack that?!

Maybe Westfalia can get the contract back sometime.
