Welcome to the gang, Duncan. Always good to have another Vanagon is the midst. I have a 84 Westy Vanagon and a few others that don't run yet. Hope you can make Galveston. But, if not, we will meet you in Fredericksburg. What part of the country are you in? Mark aka "The Vanagon Guy" j duncan <whocanduncan@xxxxxxxxxxx> wrote: Hi, Everybody. Just wanted to introduce myself as a newbie. I recently bought an '89 Vanagon GL so I don't have to crawl in and out of a tent anymore. Age is creeping up! I joined the list and have been monitoring the post for about a month. I've also checked out some of your websites. Great stuff out there! I registered for the TX VW Classic show in Fredericksburg and will meet everyone then, if not sooner. Galveston is a remote possibility but it's still a possibilty. Psychoblooie is going to be tough 'cause I'm burning 2 weeks vacation to travel the Natchez Trace and Great Smokie Mountains in May. Psychoblooie sure sounds fun, though! I also own an 1100cc Honda Sabre motorcycle and will ride it most of the time while the honey drives the camper. Hope to meet everyone soon! Duncan
