Just something cool I saw this last weekend during our trip to Windsor, ON...  An unfortunate incident involving a gravel truck and my van on the PA turnpike required a visit to Heinz Garage in Windsor to procure a new-used valve cover (which is another story entirely).

While at Heinz's, I spied a white vanagon, slightly newer looking than my '85.  At first, I wasn't sure why it caught my eye until one of the mechanic's told me that it was a European model.  The reason it had caught my eye was the fact that it was a dual-slider, sliding doors on both sides.  And to boot it was an 11 (or 12) passenger model.  I can't imagine that it would have been too comfortable for the people who had to climb in the back, but think of the road trips!

Anyway, I was wondering if anyone had seen one of the dual-sliders before and if they were common anywhere.
