Subject:      June 1996 Car & Driver

Latest C&D has an article about what rolling stock the editors would 
buy with a budget of 48K.  Phil Berg, Senior Editor, came up with the 
following list:
1996 Mazda Miata   $20,400
1989 VW Vanagon Camper GL Syncro $12,750
1996 Ducati 900SS  $8095
1987 Subaru Brat  $2050
1996 Yamaha Riva Scooter (to attach to Syncro)  $`1399
1996 Nigel Dennis Kayaks Romany 16  (up top) $1940
1996 Rockhopper Comp A1 FS bicycle (with scooter) $849
1996 Karavan KS-58 snowmobile trailer  (for Miata) $499


Total                    $47,982                                  


his comment on the Syncro:
"The crafty VW is a far better place in which to spend a day than in 
an airport corral and cattle-hauler Beoing 737. It also helps keep alive the
 road-trip spirit of the late John Muir (the New Mexico mechanic
 and author, not the California naturalist)."
The other editors do not share Mr. Berg's opinion as reflected by 
their lists (Hondas and Mini- Vans)
