Hi kids,

I was hoping the Vanagon Santa would slip four new tires into my sock this
Christmmm but I know I have been bad this year what with converting to a
Subaru so...

I took the bull by the horns and swapped the rims/tires off my 1971 ROADCOW
and son of a gun..  They fit my 1984 Vanaru!!  There was still quite a bit
of  meat on the '71 rims and the '84's were getting thin.  (My billfold is a
bit thin too, this time of year, that's why I did it.)

Anyway, it seems two items are sacred to German engineering and never
change:
1.  Rims
2. Valve covers!

Now if we could only get computers standardized to where they will stay the
same for thirteen plus consecutive years, we would be in business!!

Also, may I send my Christmmm card to you, especially those in the land of
snow:
