Er ahh, not to stir up a controversy with my bus brother chris, and especially since right now I'm only getting to read bits and pieces of the digests, but I drive a 1988 VW bus that is called, for marketing purposes, a Vanagon. The same bus is called a Transporter (England), a Minibus (South Africa) (through 2002) and who knows what in other places around the globe. If it looks like a bus, sounds like a bus, smells like a bus, has a rear engine like a bus, causes the eyes of little kids to open wide when they see it like a bus, gets blown around in the wind like a bus, toots it horn like a bus, makes others who drive buses wave when we pass on the highway like a bus . . . then as far as I'm concerned it's a bus.

Billy Bones, a bus :-)
