I'm speculating that 80% or more of the people that own and drive VW Split
Window, Bay Window and Vanagons are not on any of the Internet VW related
sites.
I've  met a broad spectrum of VW owners at VW Clubs, Car Shows, Specialty VW
Drag Races, Dun Buggy Races etc and the bulk of the world doesn't care to
belong to a list.
I've sold parts from most of the "Free" internet classified pages and find
that I seldom sell to a list member.
In the VW club I belong to I'd guess that there isn't anybody there over 27
years old except me and one VW parts vendor.
There are about ten members that have busses and a couple of Vanagons.
