Subject:      new & excited

Hi all VW folks, I just subscribed and wanted to introduce myself. I am amazed at all of the interest. I acquired an 82 westy a year ago March. Immediately had to swap out the gas tank. (Big rust holes) Then gutted the inside and redid a bunch of stuff and rewired some switches and custom panel and lights etc. Took it to california for a month. I figured wherever it broke down is where i would move. It didn't break. The day after I returned to the land ofZion (Utah), the tranny went out. Not sure if that is luck or what. I could have escaped the zion curtain. It is interesting to see all the activity. I was curious about the red marks on the Speedo and shifting. I tend to go beyond them when going up hill. Is this real bad or just potentially bad. I try to keep it under to the extent possible.

I have Michelins which have a max pressure of 40 psi

I do love the bus!! Best thing I ever did. Would be interesetd in linking up with others for outside fun. Is there a Utah or intermountain contingent??? CCC sounds fun. Thanks for all the insight. I'll probaly get fired for getting all these emails at work but then I can go on tour. Going down the road.......
