Dunno. I just added them to a blacklist, which got rid of them.

Vintage Surfari Wagons

If you long for social intercourse with your fellow motorists, including laughing and pointing, waving, single digit saluting, and sharing other emotional outbursts, try renting one of these for your next vacation.

Hey Richard...glad to hear she's up and running, but your confidence level doesn't sound too high

Some nice pics in that VDub add Bill. I've got a couple of cousins who are nuts over those things. The one that lives in Yuma restores and sells them, and actually does pretty well on them.

There was a really nice Westfalia on Craigslist, for $8k somthing, and it reminded me that this company was spotlighted on ABC7 news last night.

I swear, the evening news is about half info-mercial.

For the curious, here it is:

They said it was installed in the 60's, so not that old. Had a doctors appt that morning over on Tampa and Victory, took me a half an hour to just go from Woodly to Balboa on Victory. And another half hour to go from Balboa to Sepulveda on my way home. I haven't been on here much as I have been spending most of my time looking for a job and planning out my front sprinkler replacement. Her's a picture of a %er going up in smoke that was posted over on my rv site.

I wonder what happened to the truck.

I think I'd be cranking on that handle until it was too hot to touch!

They said they were able to save the truck, They did lose a couple of harley's in the back though. The trailer was just tryiing to live up to it's name though. They also said the fire was caused by an electrical short I think I may have been caused by the refridgerator, there has been a rash of those lately. I got so concerned hearing about the fridge fire i installed a automatic extinguisher in the fridge compartment.
