[Vwdiesel] > 1. Moving up in the world.

[Tom Jansen]

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??
