Alas a 22 year run is finally over, are they still
producing the loafs down in Mex or Brazil??

most of y'all know this, but a good friend in SA just emailed me w/ the
following...

Hi!

You'd be sad to know that they no longer produce the good old
Microbus/Caravelle here in SA anymore. They stopped about a month ago. The
last one, all 2.6-litres
5-cylinder of it, came rolling off the factory floor. :(

Now it's going to be the new retro-styled thing. :P
