Good morning,

I'm new to the list as of five minutes ago and thought I'd introduce myself. I do not currently own a Vanagon but in the past I have owned two Beetles as well as a 1965 Westfalia, purchased from the first owner who shipped it direct from Deutschland. I drive a BMW and would like to buy a Vanagon in the spring. I think my ideal vehicle would be either a GL or Wolfsburg Edition (or a Carat), but Synchro is not necessary. I do want the boxy body style, the style between the current Eurovan and the old rounder aircooled model, but haven't been able to find a list of model year changes anywhere on the web. If anyone can point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

My fianc� doesn't like Vanagons, for reasons which she can not explain, yet if she wants her brand new Volvo, I figure I can get a late 80's Vanagon, right? I'm a web designer/developer by trade, live in Washington state, and will be lurking on the list for a while to get as much info as I can before the real search begins. Thanks for your time and see ya on the road.

Keep the shiny-side up
