Lucy -  Strangely, I was thinking of George just this afternoon - an expression of his, "Son of a buck".  Weird.  I miss 0600 coffee club at QZ with George and Jim Dick.  There were others there, but I misremember - too shivery.  ;) I'm still piloting the same VW bus, but our last coast to...

>> Was the Doubleback the van that VW sold in the 90's and early 2000's (right before the Chrysler sourced model)? <<   No, the Doubleback is built on the 5th generation VW chassis, which is not marketed in the US.  The 4th generation VW van sold in the USA was known as the Eurovan.  This...

  Since the original doubleback discussion was stale, I started a new thread...   Because VW chose not to import its newest (in 2002) 5th generation van to the USA and Canada, (Mexico gets imported commercial & passenger versions) chances that we'd ever encounter a Doubleback are slim to...

  Jim, there are plenty of rallies in New England- If you've got a VW bus... <EG> George/ATL

Many of y'all remember Gary from back in the Compuserve days: http://www.caller.com/news/2010/oct/12/gary-lee-one-of-52-held-hostage-by-iran-in-the/

Gary, Just thrilled to hear you can squeeze some fun in at the proposed SE Rally.  If schedules permit, we'd love to be there. JoAnn, George & Ollie

Nancy  and Gary, I'm sorry we're very late in checking in, but we lost my brother to brain cancer in early June, so have been kind of whacked by that. In all, it sounds like a really unpleasant course of treatment, and am hoping the cancer nasties find it that way as well and give up. We know...

  Glad to hear Fred's been released from hospital and thanks to Betty and Terry for helping Fred & Daisy and keeping the rest of us informed. George & JoAnn/ATL

  Since I've got two buses now, and my rusty/crusty/bus is painted inside with psycaydelic murals, I decided to try and do the hippie ponytail thing...unfortunately, at this point in time, it's more like "The Unabomber Look". George/ATL '89 Westfalia, "Wernher" '67 Kombi, "Puddles"

Gary, Jo, Ollie and I will be there!

>> does anyone have a vanagon camper or vw bus?  i was thinking of purchasing one and possibly putting in a toilet and shower in but have very limited knowledge on the subject.  any help would be great, thanks <<   Sorry, I don't check in very often- this ain't exactly a hotbed of VW activity...

  Who the heck are the Gaints? Go Pats! George/ATL Homesick ex- Bostonian

http://www.sportsmobile.com/index.html  Factories inocated in Austin, TX, also locations in California and Illinois  Woulda responded sooner, but we've just got home from a a three month roadtrip and hadn't checked in.     George, Jo & Ollie (cat)     '89 VW Westfalia, "Wernher"

Hey Smitty   I been around this forum since '94, and have rallied with the gang quite a few times, but since we've been running a VW Westfalia the whole time- 155,000 miles so far- we hang out in the VW world a lot more!  There's always something to fix if you've got a Bus, so you can look on...

What sad news.  Jo and I are glad to have had the privilege of meeting Don, if only on a few occasions.  Our thoughts go out to Betty and the family.     George Jannini     JoAnn Greenberg
