Look in near the bottom right hand corner. We had this discussion before. I
have a copy of the official New Bus press kit. If anyoone wants a copy
pmail.
I can send you a copy for the cost of popping them out plus postage.

Sprinter
looked like a "typical delivery van" or words to that effect. What does he
think the VW Microbuses, Vanagons and Eurovans are? >>

Don't you dare even compare my VANus de Milo with those awful looking
