This is said not to pooh-pooh the wiki suggestion, but rather to point out that there is a UK vanagon enthusiast's wiki here; http://wiki.club8090.co.uk/index.php/Main_Page and also that Ron's site, with the easily recalled URL of www.vanagon.com, is a good place for new owners to look for basic info. and John Meek's (am I right that its his?) site http:// www.vanagonauts.com/ has collected some of this mailing list's "wisdom" into a searchable site.
Ok I will pooh-pooh the wiki idea a little.... it only works if people do contribute (mea culpa on a submission), otherwise it stalls and languishes. I'd like to suggest that one of the first entries in a new wiki would be a list of vanagon links. Pretty well all you need is out there in vacuumland, its just finding it that is the pain. alistair
