Subject:      One week into it...
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII


A week ago I registered the  83 Vanagon. Actually both the 83 7 passenger and
the 81 Westfalia, but since the 81 doesn't have a motor in it, this is about
the 83...
i love it. Reminds me of being younger and driving my 65 Ch*vy Van, sitting
over the front wheels, making turns in an different way. My daughters love
"daddy's van", and were dissapointed on Sunday when I showed up in my Toyota
PU.


The good things... drives strong, 70 MPH all day on the freeway. Fun to
manuver, lots of room. Tracks straight.  Looking forward to making it into a
weekender...


The bad things.... still leaks a bit of oil so it smells like burning oil..
the gas tank has a leak in it or one of those little pipes that goes into the
top. Looks like a pain to fix. There looks like battery acid residue on top of
the gas tank. Hmmm?


So here I am, looking forward to a long association with this thing...


Beats the hell out of a Fiat...
