I use this mail to reply to all. I live in Genoa (Genova, the city where Colombo was born), in the north of Italy. Genoa is placed in the region of Liguria, a good wine district! I saw a Vanagon with a Canadian license plate on last August in Carcassonne but in that moment I was in the car of a friend. So after parking a came back to see the vanagon and to take a photo, but it wasn't yet there. I'm collecting Vanagons photos and related internet links because I'm very enthusiast of that car. I bought mine from a private here in Genoa five years ago. It's a 2WD, green, 9 seats, 1600 diesel, the simplest people carrier version (kombi) but I worked a lot to improve it: I added anti-noise material in the lateral panels, an auxiliary heater under the rear bench, panels on the roof, new radio system and a lot of other works...now I know my Vanagon better than my pockets! Now I'm thinking about to buy a new one......a new "used" one, but I'm not yet sure if it will be a Syncro or a Multivan. I'm a little astonished because the Vanagon is more famous in America than in Italy, so it isn't simple to find a good one here. Regarding Italian sites, I actually don't have anyone of them in my 35 Vanagon bookmarks!! I was thinking about to do a new one, but why? There is VANAGON.COM that is the best! bye, Piero.
