I can't believe that nobody has mentioned this yet.

The August 1, 2005 issue of Autoweek has an brief blurb on Vanagons. There
is even a picture of a beautiful blue Westy that is the same color as my van
Vincent.

The article is about summer road trips, and the section on Vanagons (and a
EuroVan) begins on page 24. The article is about how great the Vanagon
(especially the Westy) is for road trips and camping. The article begins:
"The best-known secret of the RV community is the humble and ubiquitous
Volkswagen van." There is a picture of a Vanagon Westy and a EuroVan. The
article talks about an outfit in Salt Lake City called Western Road Trips.
It was started by two rock climbers that found the Vanagon to be the perfect
climbing assault vehicle. They started the company that rents out VW campers
(the company owns eight Westy Vanagons and one Westy EuroVan).

It is nice to get some positive press from the mainstream media. I'm just
disappointed that they left out any mention of John Wallace.

Cheers,
Bruce
