I have an old friend named Bud . He has been helping me when I was picking up my Transporter and seams to have been Bitten by the VW infection . On our way up Blue Star Hwy. in the town of Glenn there is and has been for some time now an old dirty Westfalia . I think Dustin knows of this one . Bud now has said that he is going to buy a Bus . While talking to Curt this past weekend about Bud & Buses , Curt has a 78 Bus but missing some parts . Now Bud starts to freak that parts will be hard to find . Little things like motor and tranny . I told him not a big thing . I will be bring Bud with me to more of our car shows and GTG this summer . At this point I'm starting to BABBLE so HELP me HELP Bud try to get back into VWs this summer .

Bud just called back and said they were taking him to K-zoo . Bud has something like 14 stints around his heart already so this is not a new thing . Then he asked if I could take his rented movies back and lock up the house . For someone that maybe on his last ride wants to make sure that he does not have a late movie . He is ready for how ever this turns out .

There are some Craigslist ads posted in the classifieds section. The 71 westy ad for $1700 looks like it would be a pretty good deal
