Most don't have a clue as to what a "Vanagon" is, and some will even deny it is a Volkswagen. What is truly amazing about this van is that my wife ( a die hard VW Bus/Vanagon hater) has said 5 or 6 times "This van is beautiful". That right there means there is something special about it!

I am not saying there is anything wrong with the Wolfy's. But it remains a Wolfsburg in Blue Star clothing. It doesn't have all the right labels. Try going to your local VW dealership and ask for parts for a T3 Blue Star. I'll bet you will get a different look than from a VW dealer in Germany. > > > BenT > sent from my electronic leash > |
