I hear you Karl.
Prices "over there" (once I said "back home" realizing I am now a US CITIZEN - OOPS) seem to be consistently higher and full of the good old IRON WORM due to the high level of rain and humility.
My 91 renovation has no rust anywhere and I think would serve us well on our longish jaunts.
I have a brother in Cevera del Maestre just about 125 miles from the Med and relatives in Scotland. Quite a spread of miles betwixt the buggers. So we shall see.
Keep smiling. If this comes to all work out - maybe special prices will be offered to careful Vanagon users of this esteemed group.
