Been on here for a little while and I am buying a set of RMW cloth seats from silverfox, delivered to NJ by Lynol, so I thought I would make an introduction.

I have a run of the mill wood on white '92 RMW that I bought as a cheap tow vehicle for the popup camper. It also serves as our weekend & beach car. It is soooooo nice to have a dedicated beach car.

Story in 3, 2, 1.... A few days ago at the beach, when leaving for the day, a father parked a few spots down was YELLING like a madman at his kids to get all the sand off of their feet before getting into his monster black on black on black SUV. I made a point to tell my 2 kids to get as much sand as they wanted into the beast.

I have owned around 20 cars of varying quality over the years, mostly economical commuter types. This car is the most fun I have had behind the wheel of car. My wife thought I was a nutbag for buying it, but she is now a convert. My 12-year-old is already talking about driving it for his first car in a few years. If he gets it, I think I will weld the seats in the UP position to make impregnation that much more difficult.

Back to buying the seats.... the effort that Silverfox and Lynol are willing to put into this small scale sale is impressive, with handoffs and deliveries. If they are the typical longroofer, then I have found a good place to spend some time. I see a WagonFest in my future.

Thanks for your time.

Hey welcome and great pics and story. Good looking kiddos, and a good idea on te seats! Ha!

I've been in Texas since 1992, but went through high school in New Jersey and have a lot of good Shore memories from my summers there.

Glad you found the group and hope you are active on here.

Welcome aboard! Glad you and the family are having a ball with the wagon.

I was born on the Jersey Shore and lived in neighboring Monmouth County through HS. I drove my kids from Memphis up to the Shore in the OCC last Summer.

Welding spikes upward in the cargo area would also help the anti-impregnation features of the wagon as well. Also helps to keep the watermelons from rolling around. Little rough on the blow up dolls toys for the beach though.

Welcome to the madness David

Great looking family and fantastic looking Wagon.

According to my boys (who love the Wagon) you wont have to mess with the seats...the car seems to repel the young ladies naturally Smile

Lots of great folks on the site, I'm sure you will be making Wagon friends in no time. Enjoy the site and have fun with your longroof.

Welcome to the forum. Boy I wish I would have seen this a couple days ago. I spent 2 day near Long Beach Island and last night in Ocean NJ for business. I would have tried to say hello. I will be in Wildwood next week on Wednesday night and Thursday into the afternoon.
