Sad News

Today I received word that my friends are selling their 1984 VW Campmobile.  This particular van has not been running for about a year since an engine fire.  I hoped that they were going to be able replace the charred bits and drop a Subaru boxer engine in the thing and it would run for another 25 years.  That may still happened but with new owners.  As mentioned in last June's post Rust In Peace, this van was once mine,  I had bought it from a mountain climber who had bought it from a nice family on Mercer Island.  The transmission was a bit balky and it didn't like stop and go traffic but it was a great van from a great time in my life.
