Dear Chris,
 
I'll be sure to let you know how fast my chipped, TDI-powered, Syncro Westy can go up that same hill!!! ;)

Subject: [F] Of Diesel Westfalias and Fridays...

Went running this morning.  Interesting thing happened.  On my final mile of my 4-mile run I came upon a hill.  I gave it all I had.  Sweat beaded up on my forehead,  my breath became chronically short and I panted like a monkey in heat BUT... I still managed to pass that Diesel Westfalia that too, was giving it all it could with the go pedal resolutely floored, exhaust spewing black smoke and the transmission in first gear.
 
IT'S FRIIIIIIIIIIIIDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
