Thanks to everybody on this list for making my six-month search for a Westy so
rewarding and educational. The excellent help folks gave still wows me...

While on an anniversary trip to Vancouver BC this last weekend, my husband and
I bought a white '90 with 96,000 miles, skylight, extra seat, great bike rack,
int/ext in good shape but not mint, replaced heads, (although one is leaking a
bit). All for $9,300 US. I'll be swapping out the speedo for one that reads
miles and driving it through customs Friday.

The only thing we really need is roof rack that can accomodate 4 x 8 sheets of
wood. Should we look into Thule, the most common brand around here? Or are
those strictly for bikes, kayaks, etc?

Does anybody know of a source for a used rack, or can suggest any improvised
rack ideas?

thanks,
christine in seattle
