[T3] Close Encounters of the Best Kind!

["Jim Adney" <jadney@vwtype3.org>]

Tonight, on my way home from work, after stopping for more than 
the usual number of after-work errands, I was finally headed for 
home, when, suddenly, across the next intersection....

I see another squareback just like mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was so shocked that I drove 100 yards past it, then pulled over 
and got out, telling my wife to go ahead and drive herself home in 
spite of the light rain. I ran back to the stopped square and realized 
that it was a beautiful dark tan '66 or '67. The woman got out and 
explained that it had stalled coming across the intersection and 
she had not been able to get it restarted.

We talked briefly and then I got in and actually managed to get it 
started. She let me drive myself home and I gave her my name and 
phone #. Then she drove off. I hope she calls back because I'd 
really like to help her get it back into good running shape again.

The '67 squareback was in beautiful shape, inside and out, and she 
had bought it from her brother who collected VWs after pestering 
him for many years. She had actually wanted this very one all 
along, and I have to admit that it's a real beauty.

I sure hope she keeps my number and brings the car back. ;-)
