Any lurkers out there? Wannabe's? I decided to check out the busses and vans I saw driving from Santa Clara to San Jose this morning. Mostly I checked out "westies for sale" category, but saw some others. Hows this: 1985 Westfalia 111k miles looks PERFECT, A/C Auto $4500 1969 Westfalia interior looks perfect, new engine, body has a few dents and rust in the battery tray. Got phone numbers if you want'em. I'd have bought the '85 but my wife HATES automatics. I saw four other Vanagons for sale, and the single and doublecab splits I posted about last night. This was on one drive, not going out of my way. I also stopped to look at the new Boxster Porsche. The perfect replacement engine for your Syncro Westie in a few years, no doubt! Cool. Also gazed at four VR6 EV Winnabago conversions (new). Did not even bother to look at the non-westy busses and Vanagons I passed for sale. In the non-for-sale category, I met the very last Adventurewagon conversion of a VW -- a 1990 Syncro. Beautiful high-top camper. and a Syncro to boot. We were a good crowd of VW's parked there -- two plain Vanagons, a DoubleCab Vanagon/Transporter (a 1985), the Syncro Adventurewagon and my Syncro Kombi Transporter. Did not bother to count the number of busses I passed, although Vanagons seem to be getting to be the most common ones I see. Did not see a single EV on the road. Odd, 'cause I usually do. Saw a Baywindow Doublecab, though, to make up for the lack. Most of you folks must live in hell.
