Yes I know- Ebay calls it "keyword spamming" . This form is clever because it is spamming within a brand, where as he usual form is to attract somone who is looking for another brand, for example, using the word "not", as in "Furd, not VW, not Nissant, not Chevy". It's the plague of Ebay. As far as van enthusiast goes-Yes- Vanagon. Bus- drove them for 7 years every day -I can't sit down much these days-No wonder they are selling so many-and look how much they are going for? Could buy a nice Syncro Westy for the price of those shiny buckboards on wheels. Robert 1982 Westfalia

I really don't think they believe their splitty is a Vanagon. Mike '84 GL '85 GL Westy
