Way to go on the 2004 ! ! ! you will probably get another 200k on it
before the next century ticks by. Give a yell if you need a hand with the
Westy.
The wife wants me to join the present world but I am fighting it. Still
want a 91 Westyfalia. there is hope as we were looking at a 2006 TDI or a
RAV 4. Any comparable behicle to the RAV 4??
