Volks, Out of curiosity, I keep checking out the diesel Vanagon-related pages and messages. It seems, in America at least, that all of the diesels imported here are Westies. Are there ANY exceptions? I know that the diesel started out as a cargo van in Europe (and would be kinda nice to own, actually). I also know that maybe 3 out of 10 Transporter configurations get licensed for sale in the US, so inevitably, there were diesel non-campers sold in Europe besides the panel van... right? BTW, does anybody know of any panel Vanagons in the US? I know, I know, it's hard enough to find a panel loaf or splitty (except in Cali). I saw one in Hot VW's done by a guy in England a few years ago, but it was a conversion from a regular window van. Anyway, it would be sweet to own one (except when you get pulled over 10 times a night.) :( Have a good weekend, Sam == "I knew I couldn't fly, but I didn't care..." -Bob Mould "Enough to stain the eye, these dripping words don't lie." -Jeff Martin http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Backstage/6507 _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
