The licence plate on the front of mine says "Its Not a Car, Its a VW Bus!".
I think that sums it up pretty well. All transporters are busses and when
you really break it down, it is what you make it. I call mine "bus",
"vanagon", and "Engelburt", but in the end who really cares? The VW Pecking
order thing......does anyone REALLY think they have to be aknowledged by a
higher powered "Bus" before their allowed to wave!?!?

If you haven't seen that yet, your missing out on one of the greatest videos
i've ever stumbled upon online. Its a german show....from the father land
(of BUSSES), that is called "Bulli Extreme", where they rebuild a
syncro.....which they regularly refer to as a "Bus". Even the Web URL ends
with "Vw_Bus". Yes its a T3, but T is for Transporter......Thats good enough
for me!

PS: Vanagons with "Transporter" Badges tend to be faster and more powerful
10 fold. If you dont have one yet, get one. Guaranteed to make it up hills!
