well, you need to tell VWAG, not the vanagon list..   i said over a year ago
the concept was butt uglee.    anyway a friend of mine did a sketch way back
in 1990..yes, 12 years ago... and they should have used it.  its the yellow
concept bus to which you refer to.   if anyone would like to host a site
where i can put this jpg, let me know..  chris
