Went up to the VW show yesterday and met a few list people. It seems like every year there are more and more list folks up there, or maybe just more people joining. I met Rusty VanBondo and Jim Sherwood by name, and there were a few others that I overheard talking about the list, but I didn't go up and talk to them, for no other reason than I was in a hurry to leave as I had to be somewhere else by a certain time. I bought a list sticker (type2.com) from Jim and spoke with Rusty about a tent for my '81. I also picked up 4 mostly good, althought with minor dings, hubcaps. I hate the plastic wheel covers that come with some of the early Vanagons, the chrome hubcaps look so much better. Now I need to paint the wheels. Oh, and I picked up a pair of pedal pads (is there a correct term for these?). I was a little dissapointed at the lack of loafs, but it was a vintage meet so I guess I shouldn't complain. Last year there was a killer '74 for sale, exact same options and color as my '74, although in a million times better shape.
