Hmm, every community has it's own inside jargon to seperate the twits
from the real thing. I thought Type 2s were the old loaf busses, Type
3 were the newer busses (vanagons in the US - gawd what an awful name,
belongs on a Ford), and Type 4s were the Eurovans.
Is my nomenclature revealing me to be the noob that I am?
