List members seem to delect in using "cool" names for their car models: Westies, Winnies, Wasserboxers, Weekenders, etc. When this insider jargon is picked up by the list members, it may confuse the newcomers. Maybe we need a dictionnary in the archives. Joel Walker, as one of the founding fathers of the list, would you care to volunteer to be its keeper? I'll take the credit or blame, whichever, for having started Eurobago = Eurovan + Winnebago in a private mail to Dan Herbert, at the time when he needed help and sympathy on his cracked roof problem. By now the term has been used in 11 posts (keyword search in the 1997 archives); there are also 17 appearance of the equivalent term EV Winnie, as opposed to EV Westy = EV + Westfalia. I count some 12 owners of the 95 Eurovan Winebago Camper on the list, but many more recent lookers. Anybody care to make some baptismal comments? Andy Mera 95 EV Wb (short, but not very exciting)
