Let the Record show that Gerald Miller on or
about Mon, 19 Oct 2009 18:55:30 -0400 did write/type or cause to
appear in rec.crafts.metalworking the following:

My 3 favorite views on the road: Rainbows, burning VWs (and there were
a whole lot of those), and upside-down BMW "sports cars" (2 so far.)

Id love to have another VW to kick around in. NO SUPER BEETLES!!!

(very weak front ends)

I want a Typ II, double cab (Van as pickup). Maybe with the
optional aux heater. (VW's one general weak spot.)

That only worked for the first year without replacing the expensive
thermostat unit, at least on the 1963 version, apparently the latter
ones were better.

The one I saw was in a surplus Dutch Police van. It was
apparently used as a portable office, (1968-72.) and so had the
gasoline fired heater so the ink (and fingers) wouldn't freeze. This
was back in 1976, when we all knew that the ice ages were just around
the corner.

We will drink no whiskey before its nine.
It's eight fifty eight. Close enough!
