Harry offered up the following two european "vanagon"-type lists at:
http://www.parsimony.net/forum/forum165/
and
http://home.t-online.de/home/sr-spiegel-und-glas/t3.htm
Unfortunately, they are mostly in German but all is not lost.
You can read these lists in English by going to
http://babelfish.altavista.digital.com/cgi-bin/translate? and then entering
the URLS above. Then, you can read in English to your heart's content what
they are saying over there. The only thing is that you are reading a
machine translation, so you get some weird translations.
I believe it is technically possible to cause robots to pick up, translate
to english, and post to our list the contents of these other two lists. The
postings in these other two lists are likely valuable enough to make such
an endeavor of great benefit to the Vanagon owners (and mandkind)
generally. If I had the time, I would make this happen but unfortunately I
do not have the time for it. I realize there is a small matter of getting
permission for this to happen, but I believe such permission would likely
be obtainable, or the deed could simply be undertaken without asking and
we'd wait and see what happens.
To really understand this post, you need to get with overall concept:
"Vanagons Of The World Unite!" or something to that effect.
They refer to us as T3 owners, but we think of ourselves as Type 2 here.
Tom N. Mr. 16" fame previously explained the discrepancy on this list.
