 I could be wrong, but I s'pect I have seen more Country Homes vanagons than
 most. >>

Today, I have you beat. Tornado Red 1990 flying down Junipero Serra Blvd. in
SF, mid 80's Syncro on driveway on Geneva near Cow Palace in SF, and a Blue
Syncro with twin driving lights on it;s tail getting it's headgaskets
replaced at Tassi Inc. in Colma. None had luggage racks. No provision for it
as far as I can see on the castings. They are sealed on the front end unlike
Westies.

As for Sportsmobiles that Chris mentions, I've never see one though I know
they exist from reading about them. ASI's I know of a couple on Vanagons. One
is at BusLab in Berkeley. Steve from that shop owns it.
