My father is considering buying his first vanagon--an '81 diesel "partial camper". I told him that he might want to make sure he was very comfortable with the slow lane before making the decision. In the interest of fairness, though, I told him I'd ask the list for some more opinions (I guaranteed him we'd have a lot to share), both pro and con, about the wisdom of this purchase. So, here's your chance to influence a VW virgin--what does anyone have to say about '81s or diesels or both, or about the vanagon experience in general? (I have done what I can to sell him on VW, but I'm a breadloafer myself, and can't attest to the virtues of the brick firsthand...) TIA, Ryan McGee ryan@falcon.cc.ukans.edu '71 camper (Mabel)
