Hey, I'm not suggesting an Itinerant tour in an all-too-precious splitty, any more than doing one in the Squareback.

Wow, I can't imagine how much "better" that jewel could get. She appears to be the same Bamboo Yellow colour as my Westy, but much better preserved.weisswurst wrote:the Currywurst would be be an excellent candidate for a diesel tour since it is the lightest one (non westy) and is set up inside like BobD/Chloe.
Back in 82 the speed limit was 55 and that's about as fast as she goes, it would be like a time travel trip.
I might even consider loaning her to the Maestro if he doesn't want to buy her just so I get it back better than it was!

At the risk of marital dissolution, I may just have to buy it out from under Colin when/if he gets it to Livermore...
Wait, it has front drum brakes? Wow, good thing it won't go faster than 55. Sure does look good in the picture, though.weisswurst wrote: It is a re-spray of a mustard/curry yellow color over the factory cream (not done by me) far from perfect but it's not a too a terrible paint job and it has some life left in the paint. Now the interior, that is pretty! redone with the correct brown on brown"leather-ette" and carpet and not a rip or tear in either or in sight! It has always been Colin's favorite! Colin come get front passenger brake drum calipers "unstuck" from sitting and take this baby for a trip!
A Mercedes TD300? Possibly the only car actually slower that a diesel Vanagon! Oh, except the Unimog.I just found a 1980 diesel 300TD estate wagon (the TD stands for "touring diesel" so it's NA injected like my VWs).
I have always wanted to have one of those so I am going to look at it this week!
Nope, 'fraid not. Livermore is about 50 miles east of San Francisco. Bit of a drive from Anaheim.Hey SlowLane I will be in Anehiem next week for a tradeshow is that anywhere near you?

Of course, the Vanagon is even more to my liking in that department, but they don't respond as lovingly to little roadside projects that I think Colin would miss too dearly.
That being said, a few friends on mine are replacing their left head gasket in the Alaskan snow right now. I'm sure Colin would love those working conditions…
