Hi Mark
Get out on the road and remind you Vanagon what it is there for.  
I wish i could do the same.  Here in the frigid New England, we nave 2 feet of snow and so cold it is going to stay there.  I have been dying to start up the Westy and take it for a ride, but seeing the lower half o other vehicles are all white (from the salt 'deicer used) I don't dare to.
Spring is coming!

 Nice break from the rain here in PNW, the van ran and drove great, twisty 2 lane local roads are fun to drive. Considering a longer journey soon, maybe to OR coast.
