Not true - last summer they had a full issue devoted to transporters. They discussed a lot of the euro appearance conversions, a G60, porsche and the euro-spec conversion. They even featured a listmembers yellow synchro once a while back.... There just isn't a whole lot of exciting things going on in the world of vanagons - we don't tend to mod the engines and customize the appearance nearly as much as buggers, etc. And are vehicles aren't old enough for one in "Pristine restored" condition to turn anyone's head except for another Van owner.
