Ok Ok Ok...

jeez, talk about outing the lurkers, what with the weekly statz ("sniveling
lurker") and now this plea...making us come clean here, huh?

so who is this lurker and what's he doing here?  well, i've been around for
a couple months! but really can't add a whole lot right now...been busless
for many moons.  i follow the digest, typically a day or two behind, though
lately about a week plus!  oh yeah--some of you know me from the quattro
list, and i've seen a few other names from another air-cooled german car
list that starts with "p."  amazing how interests tend to parallel.  

i'll put myself in the "wannabus" category;  i'l  probably be there for
awhile.  i *think* i'm looking toward an early 80s westie into which i'll
transplant a certain german boxer-6 engine....aren't dreams fun?

as for history, i learned to drive a manual trannie on a '73 white on
orange-red type ii.  also learned to parallel park in that, but chickened
out on my driving test and used my mom's volvo.  i later "stole" the thing
from my dad and used it as my daily driver to hi school when he bought a '64
chevy p'up.  that was almost 20 years ago and i haven't had an a/c VW
since--bunch of w/c things instead:  Rabbits (2), Audis (3) including my
current quattro.  the folks also have a couple VW products (another Audi and
a Jetta).  the wife has a honda--oh well.

ok.  back to lurk mode.
