Servicing ACVW's along California's Central Coast

Seeking recommendations for air-cooled repair guys along US 101 in the
San Fernando Valley, to Ventura, Santa Barbara, Santa Maria, Pismo, San
Luis Obispo, San Simeon, then up Highway 1 all the way to Big Sur. I
have the opportunity to take the Wonderbus up the coast a week from now.
Reckon it would be smart to bring a list of places where broken bits can
be repaired.

I highly recommend John Larson, West Coast Garage, 105 -
B East Mill, Santa Maria, CA 93454, (805) 925-1993. Very honest, and
personable. He did an engine replacement, and changing out of cables,
plus tie rod replacement. Work done professionally, very prompt, and at
a fair price. I would not hesitate returning.

Oh, the Wonderbus and I are /ready./ We're going to kick some serious
21st century competitive Asian car /ass/ on the freeway! Of course, at a
prudent speed of 65 mph or less, depending on engine heat. But taking a
71 bus up the California coastline . . . I mean . . . it's like . . .
WOW, man! Where's my Strawberry Alarm Clock albums? Vanilla Fudge? 13th
Floor Elevator? Cream? Blue Cheer? Somehow I lost track of them in the
mid 70's.

But the hot tubs at Esalen are still there! Yee haw!

............If I had a hippie bus and was touring the coast, I'd be playing
Lynyrd Skynyrd's Free Bird on my 8 track.

What the heck does that have to do with hippie music from the
psychedelic era?
