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. : =
