It seems to me that the van/bus owners have much more in common than their motors. For us vanagon types it will mean having to make cross-postings to both AC & WC in rec.autos.

A division similar to that used for repair manuals i.e."VW Vanagon 1980-1991" would work as well and allow for the AC & WC types to live in the same space - thereby preserving continuity of VW lore, expertise, and evolution.
