Sorry about that Marty.

I just found out this morning that our mail administrator blocks all
mail from the Rocketmail and Hotmail sites. He considers them to be
known spam sites. Although I do have a personal email address also, I
try not to use it here at work during the weekdays . It's real hard to
pull up AOL here at work and actually try to convince anyone walking by,
(i.e. my boss), that I'm actually working on something related to work!
Much easier for me to use the same email address I use for work to send
to the "list". Especially since I spend half my day staring at this
god-forsaken computer screen sending and responding email for work
related duties anyways. If you wish to contact me though, my personal
address is tabuchanan@aol.com

As far as the van is concern, it is located in Hayward. I received an
email from someone this morning that said he thinks he's already seen
this one. He didn't even bother to test drive it because the interior
looked so bad. The fact that he's got seven kids may possibly have
something to do with it??

Pasted below is the email message he sent me:

        Hi guys,
        I am not on the Vanagon list but I check the list more often.
I have 84 vanagon and want to look for a newer one.  Sound like the van
I already took a look three months ago on auto dealer lot if the  area
code is 510.
It is dark blue, poptop..., it doesn't have fridge, sink, and stove.
Interior has some damage on seat (tore and stain) the owner said he has
7 kids, so inside is not very good condition nor well taking care of.
Due to interior is not impressed so I did not take a test drive.  I live

nearby the dealership lot so if you need more info I can recheck.
        Best regards
        Tien Nguyen (510) 572-8868
        tien.nguyen@lamrc.com


Thanx,
Terry
