Yeah, I once heard a call to their show from a guy I knew in Raleigh, and his car was a stock '66 or '67 Comet with a 390 and a three speed manual.  Whatever the problem, they spent the most of the segment arguing whether this was a factory setup or not.

Hi Jack,

LOL... I know that guy. I've even played guitar with him at a campfire or two. The voice belongs to John Baker, a founding member of the Ohio Valley Tribe of the Full Moon Bus Club. He's a long-time member of the type2 list, and I am sure he knows about the vanagon list. As a matter of fact, the OVT list is already ribbing him for taking his vanagon issues on the air instead of bringing them to their list.

Happy Trails,
