Just wanted introduce myself.  I am Charlie Ford and I live in southern GA.

I have done a little traveling a few years ago in my 79 transporter called
The Mothership but have since been sitting still.

Just came into posession of an 85 westy weekender Wolfsburg Edition.  Got a
blown engine and I am wondering what to do with it.  Engines for this thing
are few and far between in southern Gerogia but if anyone close has one tell
me your price.  If it's a runner we might do business.

I guess I am also open to trading said body for a running split or even an
american pickup.  I own a canoe kayak outfitter business called Three Rivers
Expeditions and could use a fairly good reliable pickup.

Well, thats why I am here.  To glean knowledge from this auspicious and
reportedly suspicious group of wet volks folks.

Thanks for tolerating the ramblings,

Charlie Ford

PS:  Hey Christa and Tobin....I hope all is well and ya'll are filled with
laughter and children.  I sure miss the parking garage. hehehe
