I picked up a S.A. long range fuel tank from Van-Cafe. If they have them for a while, I'll get one for the work van, too.

Mango has enjoyed Christmas all year. She got a mild mechanical resto, and then a doors-off color change paint job. New tires. New winter tires. Big Hellas. Stereo. Alignment. Steering rack. Carpet. She's had a good year.

Yesterday I picked up some super bright bulbs from the Honda store that Daniel Stern recommended for the Van's rear lighting. Blinkers, brakes, running - all covered. So that will officially be her Christmas present!! Plus spending the Christmas season in the garage - she kicked the Quattro out for the time being until I get a cover strategy worked out.

Jael is going to the beach in Calif the day after Christmas for a week of camping and sunny relaxation. We might stop by GW if we head for Jalama Beach, Solvang, and Morro Bay. It is great traveling in a Syncro Westfalia, you just go where you want, stop when you want. Laughing

North or South we have not yet decided where we are going, but the Syncro is fueled and ready to point west from Utah.

And we are looking forward to seeing this beside us most of the trip! Cool

replaced the throttle body, re-timed, installed the BA6 and engine heat.

Found out the blower/pod isn't working right Sad

Last month replaced all my breather lines on the tank(everything forward of the tank) no more gas burps. So happy

Dixie's getting new OEM Audi A6 front discs and a pair of Sachs HD Ambulance shocks up front.

I'm going to have to help her with the unwrapping - she's all thumbs...
