Subject: I'm now a Vanagon owner!
I just drove my "new" Vanagon home today. As you probably know,
I've been asking a lot of questions to the list, and in the meantime I was
searching for a good van to haul my racing gear around. Well, I found
one about 4 hours away. I went to see it, and I bought it. It's a
1984 GL, and it appears to have been maintained very well. I put some
pictures up if you would like to see it - click on
http://y42.photos.yahoo.com/ctbtyper,
and they are in the album titled "Race Bus." If you'd like to see the
kind of thing that I'll be hauling with it, take a look at the other album
that is there, too - but be warned, there are no Vanagons in that album.
: )
I think I made a pretty good buy - I need to fix the fuel tank overflow
thing (thanks to everyone who replied to me about this problem and how to fix
it), but that's really the only big problem I need to address. I can't
believe the condition of the van, so I think I'll be served well by it.
Oh, and yes - I did think it was fun to drive it home today.
Certainly a different style from my other vehicles, but I zipped along on the
highway with no problems, and driving it is fun in its own way. :
