Subject:      Bus drivers and waving.

G'day All!

I have a '74 and '85 bus, well the '85 is my Dad's, but guess who drives 
it most!

Anyway, I really like how type2 bus drivers wave to each other on the road,
(well, the old shape bus...whatever...) but I noticed that the drivers of 
buses in the shape like the '85 we have never wave at each other....not 
even a second glance!

I remember when we first bought the '85 (in '85 of course!) it was only 
one of two or three (I believe) around town.  It was a bit of a novelty 
then, until more of them showed up.  Now, with the even newer shape of 
buses, I never see them waving!

What's going on?

On another topic, I am new to this group, and to American terminology for 
the buses.  The '85 we have is a Caravelle and I think someone told me 
you Americans call it a Eurovan.

So, what is a westfalia?

I am basically familiar to the extent of knowing that there were/are 
three "shapes" The old "curvey" one (well, there was the old 23 window 
one too!) like my '74.  Then, the more "chunky" shape like my '85 (and 
the really cool syncros) and now, the new front engine one.

Help bring me up to speed....

Thanks,

Darren.
