I cant believe it! I'm still the only one on the list in Norway!:-(
In a small town with only 40000 citizens, I guess there are well over 100
vanagons, and even more EVs. They are (almost) everywhere. Police, ambulance,
taxi, you name it, it is done. At least half of all are deliverys, with the wb's
still going strong. This type of car is more a tool to make it through the day
over here, than something to drool enthusiasticly over. We hardly have any
VW-clubs here, but amcar clubs are plentiful.(gee). It is just as they say, the
grass is greener at the other side...
