David, you do understand that the Vanagon was air-cooled for three years from
its inseption, right. I think "...feeling ballsy coming to the Vanagon List
to ask about an air-cooled..." is a statement you might want to rephrase
after you get you're facts straight. And for what it is worth, with a bit of
re-engineering, the air-cooled Vanagon is a marvelous choice.
Yours,
Beckett
